White-faced whistling duck

White-faced whistling duck (Dendrocygna viduata)

Not something usually seen in Florida - this is predominantly a South American duck which may or may not have been occasionally released or escaped...though not established, one seems to pop up in a random Florida wetland every 3-5 years as this one did, hanging around with some black-bellied whistling ducks who seemed unoffended by its presence. A treat for me, of course!
