Song & Call Comparison
American Black Duck
Female produces a loud, deep quacking series; male gives a low, raspy grunt. Voice is deeper and huskier than a Mallard; pairs call powerfully across northeastern North American wetlands.
Taiga Bean Goose
A low, nasal 'ung-unk' or 'ow' call — less nasal than Grey-lag. Flocks give continuous calling. The call distinction from Tundra Bean Goose is subtle but detectable.
