Style:

I seriously think you could send someone with a funsaver to Brazos Bend and they'd come back with good photos. It's amazing that a such a unique park is only 30 minutes away from Houston.

Travis Pichot > Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks. One of which seemed to be stuck trying to get in the nesting box...

Interesting Whistling Duck factoids - They unique among ducks, in that pairs often stay together for many years, a trait more often associated with geese and swans. Both parents share all tasks associated with the raising of young, from incubation to the rearing of ducklings. The ducks, primarily cavity nesters, prefer the confines of a hollow tree, but will nest on the ground when necessary. They also make use of chimneys, abandoned buildings, or nest boxes, the latter having been increasingly provided to them over recent decades, especially in southeast Texas and Mexico. Ducklings leap from nest cavities within two days of hatching, can feed themselves immediately, and stay with the parents for up to eight weeks. How 'bout that wikipedia?
