In a Facebook post this week, the Ohio Division of Wildlife reported that black-bellied whistling-ducks were spotted with some ducklings at a wildlife area in Wayne County. While far from common, it is not the first time that the birds have been seen locally. Previously, a pair of the rare ducks were confirmed to have been nesting in a small pond on a Wayne County farm in 2022. Normally, the ducks are found along the Gulf Coast and Mexican border.
