A journey for the fulvous whistling duck

Of all of the duck species in North America, the fulvous whistling duck is probably the most unfamiliar to Wisconsin. It likes the warm, treeless coastlines of Texas and the ocean expanses that border the Louisiana bayou. Habitats like the Everglades, where you see American alligators, is where you can find fulvous whistling ducks.
