Summary
Black-bellied whistling ducks are expanding fast--and they're not acting like traditional ducks. Anything but.

From agriculture and habitat shifts to behavior, movement, and nesting ecology, this conversation explores what black-bellieds may reveal about the future of waterfowl in the world we've created.
