White-faced Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna viduata)

A widespread and common tropical species, the White-faced Whistling-Duck is found in a variety of wetland habitats in South America and Africa. Escaped aviary birds are often seen in North America and Europe. The species used to be known as the White-faced Tree Duck due to the frequent perching and nesting habits.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer, but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. - William Beebe, 1906
