The West Indian whistling duck (Dendrocygna arborea) is a species of bird in the family Anatidae. The largest and darkest of the whistling ducks, it is roughly the size of a mallard, growing to 48 to 58 centimetres (19 to 23 inches) in length. Widely scattered across the West Indies, the species was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 as Anas arborea, based on earlier accounts. The species is now placed in the genus Dendrocygna, introduced by William Swainson in 1837, and has no recognised subspecies. This photograph shows the head of a West Indian whistling duck in George Town, on the island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged owl in the family Strigidae. It is native to the open landscapes of North and South America, where it inhabits grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts and other open habitats with low vegetation, nesting and roosting in burrows usually excavated by other animals. When threatened, it retreats underground and produces rattling and hissing sounds resembling those of a rattlesnake, an example of acoustic Batesian mimicry. This southern burrowing owl was photographed in Colonia Department, Uruguay. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
