Black Bellied Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis)
This could any one of the so named Joey's BBWD at the Old Crandon Park Zoo grounds, A total of six birds, inclusive of parents were in the process of rebuilding their local stock, But unfortunately already three of these wonderful birds have been lost to a pair of American Crocodiles who have "wondered "into this wonderful refuge, Protected by Federal Law the Crocks can not be molested or removed, so if something is not done soon all these birds will be gone for good, Already a total of 30+ birds have been lost to the dynamic duo in the past two months. For a while now there has been a political battle between the proponents of turning this refuge into some sort of an amusement park and those who would like to keep it as is, a quiet retreat for people and birds, We suspect that the Crocs have been deliberately introduced into this protected habitat, although they do inhabit the western shore of Key Biscayne, there is no possible way for them to cross the heavily traveled road , dig under fences or climb the same, In the end, I, suspect that we'll all be losers in this irreconcilable dispute between City planners and local residents!! What a shame!!!
