Dendrocygna autumnalis
Water bird with an orange beak, dark brown black lower body with two tone white and dark brown upper body. Loud whistle like call.
Man made wetland with man made "hammock like" islands.
Nice spotting Michael! Gorgeous pictures of the whistling duck. In the third picture it is with a White Ibis (http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White...). You could make a separate spotting for that too. Keep up the great work!
