From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southwest Region:

Long-legged, boisterous and sociable – these are words often used to describe the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck. If you live along the Texas coast, consider building a nest box for these beautiful birds. You can make a nest box out of half-inch marine plywood.
