BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCK & AMERICAN COOT, EAGLE LAKES COMMUNITY PARK, NAPLES, FL

   The duck on the right in the first photo is a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck.  The bird in the the foreground on the left is an American Coot.  Most Ameican Coots have a white bill and a red frontal shield.  However, mostly in the south, occasionally a male American Coot has a white frontal shield.  This seems to be the case for this bird.
   In the second photo the duck on the left is a Black-bellied Whistling-Duck.  We couldn't ID the species on the right.
