Organ Grinder

Organilleros, or organ grinders, are captivating characters you might have seen while wandering the main historic plazas of Mexico City, especially in Mexico City’s Zócalo. They wear traditional beige uniforms and caps and play an odd instrument that makes a slightly mistuned sound.

Fulvous Whistling Duck

Whistling ducks are a distinctive group of about eight species of brightly colored, oddly proportioned waterfowl. The Fulvous Whistling Duck is a mix of rich caramel-brown and black. It is a long-legged and long-necked creature found in warm freshwater marshes across the Americas, Africa, and Asia. These ducks are notable for their distinctive squealing sounds when taking off and their loud, shrill whistles during flight.

Here is one at Sylvan Heights Bird Park.
