Babies duck (ducklings) belong to duck called as Black Bellied Whistling Duck, also known as: 

- Mexican Whistlers.

- Mexican squealers

Interestingly, these ducks don't quack, but they are whispering. When wandering, they are in group of 20 to 30.

On the sandbars of Mississippi river, we use to see them by the hundreds or might be by thousands.

The Whistling Ducks are noisy around or on the branches of trees at night until they go to sleep.
