The Anatidae is the family of ducks, teals, geese and swans. The family Anatidae was first introduced by William Elford Leach, MD, FRS (2 February 1791 – 25 August 1836), an English zoologist and marine biologist, in the year 1820.

The family Anatidae comprises seven subfamilies, including Dendrocygninae. The subfamily Dendrocygninae was first described by Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (January 8, 1793 – March 17, 1879), a German botanist and ornithologist, in the year 1850.

The subfamily Dendrocygninae is monotypic and contains a single genus Dendrocygna. The genus Dendrocygna was first introduced by William John Swainson FLS, FRS (8 October 1789 – 6 December 1855), an English ornithologist, malacologist, conchologist and entomologist, in the year 1837.

The genus Dendrocygna is polytypic and comprises eight species, including Dendrocygna autumnalis. The species Dendrocygna autumnalis is polytypic and contains subspecies D. a. fulgens and D. a. autumnalis.

The duck species Dendrocygna autumnalis was first described by Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, in the year 1758.

Origin, geographical range and distribution

The black-bellied whistling-duck subspecies D. a. fulgens is distributed in Southern USA, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and central and northern Panama.

The subspecies D. a. autumnalis is distributed in central and south Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Surinam, Guyana, French Guinea and Trinidad and Tobago.

Vagrant populations of these black-bellied whistling-duck species occur in Bahamas, Chile, Grenada, Jamaica, Virgin Islands (USA), Cayman Islands (UK) and Gambia.

The Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) of these black-bellied whistling-duck species in Mexico are, Humedales de Alvarado and The Encrucijada. The IBA in Nicaragua is Tisma Lagoon.

The IBA of these black-bellied whistling-ducks in Belize are, Rio Bravo CMA Gallon Jug Estate, Northeastern Belize, Crooked Tree and associated wetlands and Belize Coastal and near shore islands. The IBA in Colombia is Haciendas Ganaderas del Norte del Cauca.

Ecosystem and habitat

The black-bellied whistling-duck species do not normally occur in forests. They normally occur in altitudes between 0 to 1500 meters. The artificial ecosystems and habitats of these species include agricultural lands.

The natural ecosystems and habitats of these black-bellied whistling-duck species include inland wetlands, bogs, marshes, flooded grasslands, swamps, peatlands, freshwater lakes, reservoirs, lagoons and freshwater ponds.

Diet and feeding behavior

The diet of these black-bellied whistling-duck species consists mainly of seeds. Wild seeds, grass, farm cereals, aquatic vegetation and invertebrates are their primary food. These duck species are mostly nocturnal feeders.

Reproduction and breeding habits

The breeding season of these black-bellied whistling-duck species is from May to August in most of their breeding range. They are monogamous and territorial.

The breeding habitats include open flat grounds surrounded by trees. These ducks nest usually in tree-holes, chimneys, abandoned buildings and nest boxes. They have been observed to nest also on the ground.

Both the black-bellied whistling-duck parents incubate the eggs and raise the young. The hatchlings can feed themselves immediately after hatching. They are cared for by the parents for up to two months.

Migration and movement patterns

These black-bellied whistling-duck species are partially migratory birds. The populations occurring in the northwest Mexico and southwest USA are migratory and move southwards for wintering.

The duck populations in rest of the range are resident. Post breeding, the juveniles may disperse and establish in new locations within the range. Within their range they may make local movements for feeding and breeding.
