White-winged Duck

Asarcornis scutulata

The White-winged Duck is a large, elusive waterfowl species found in the wetlands and forests of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its striking white wing patches, dark body, and distinctive blue bill. This species is known for its shy and secretive nature, often hiding in dense vegetation near water bodies. White-winged Ducks are primarily found in undisturbed, remote areas with abundant wetlands and large trees. They are omnivorous, feeding on aquatic plants, insects, and small vertebrates. Due to habitat loss and hunting, the White-winged Duck is considered vulnerable to extinction.
