When I first spotted the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks they were far, in a dark swamp area, and not an easy shot. I ignored them.

Finally I tried to get a better angle, and suddenly it became more interesting. All kinds of swamp locals kept showing up.

I couldn’t get a better angle, light was worse, but just then an Alligator showed up. I had to shoot at that point. 🤣
