Fulvous Whistling Duck - Dendrocygna bicolor

Although a resident in Central and South America, this species had expanded its territory in the 1960s to southern Texas, Florida and extreme southern California. In December 2005 there was a stray individual seen at the Whittier Narrows Park in Whittier, California. I was one of the many birders who was able to photographically document its presence.
