Nice pix Joel. The flock of whistling ducks that were being strafed by the Bald eagles were Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks, not Fulvous. I assume you saw the large upperwing-patches on these birds as they took flight? That's a fieldmark of Black-bellied Whistling Duck. We could see these birds from as far away as 1.5 miles as they flew to-and-fro against the azure sky.
