Sometimes I wonder how the frequent weirs in the river affect the movement of fish upstream, but I do enjoy watching the ducks riding downstream over them. #SpotBilledDuck #duck #birding #photography


I felt like having some extra #MondayMallards, and I'm in charge of this page so I can and I have so here we have #TwoDuckTwoOClock (maybe one day I'll have a picture of many that lets me do#14Duck1400 ?!)

The #DuckOfTheDay is a particularly fine #MondayMallard photographed at #WWTBarnes back in October.

Let's go be duck!
I'm working on a conference talk on some of my wild counting, and that's an excuse to surface some more of the amusing mistakes made when #AWSTranscribe tries to understand my voice in my audio notes.
(I'm trying to imagine what golf would be like if rebuilt by seagulls.)


The #DuckOfTheDay is a tad fuzzy.

@emsquared
I once pronounced Toronto with hard T's to Canadians .( With Dutch and Scottish roots ).
" You pronounce it as a First Nation!".
Instead of "Trònnó".
I stick to Toronto.
( We slept early, woke up early too in a sauna-like hotel-room in Düsseldorf)
There was a small item here once about duck-quacking accents in London and Cornwall. Now I wonder about Toronto -Duck -accents.

Are you trying to confuse me? It is good, but have you heard this one? #TuneswapTuesday

Are you feeling a little blurry? So is this duck.

I told you that if this account took part in #TuneswapTuesday y’all would soon get bored and/or complain at seeing this one thing every. single. week.

Mister Muscovy was out and about today during today's #ErieCanal #walk
Late afternoon, and the #sky was getting dramatic.


Identifying #female or juvenile #birds in the field can be very difficult, especially if the male and female don’t resemble each other much, as in the American #wigeon #duck.
This example was taken at #Merritt #Island #NationalWildlifeRefuge

Some photos from today's autumn walk along the sea with @vivia and @alatiera .
It was quite windy and grey today!
Featuring: a hooded crow with a grey eyebrow looking over the sea, a magpie on the ground with blue/green sparkling feathers, a cat sitting in a tree and a white Muscovy duck spreading its wings in the sea in front of its reflection.

A large flock of a couple hundred ring-necked ducks came through Wednesday morning just before the skies unleashed a daylong rain on us. I didn't get close enough to take any up-close pictures -- hey, it was 38 degrees and I was in a bathrobe on my porch -- but they were fabulous to watch as they played. Love the white rings on their black bills.

Male Mottled Duck Reflecting on the Water by Debra Martz
…at the World Birding Center of South Padre Island, Texas
Almost a mile of boardwalks meander across wetlands giving you wonderful closeup views of birds ranging from the small songbirds in the vegetation, shorebirds to all types of waterfowl. There is even a beautiful butterfly garden next to the visitor's center.

Sometimes my drawings have some real story or point of interest behind them.
And sometimes I’m tired so I draw a duck.
An adult male wood duck swimming in the water at the local wetland area.
I went with a nature scene look for this shot to highlight the environment the wood ducks live in.

Not feeling emotionally well today. But nature always has healing vibes. For everyone that feels the same right now: maybe this picture of a duck can bring a smile onto your face 🙂

Some of the ducks I saw today.
This very handsome drake Mallard was waddling on the snowy ground near the river in Guelph Ontario Canada on a lovely winter day. The iridescent bottle green white collar dabbler was eating snow while looking for the corn that some children had thrown to feed the ducks and geese.

From my wood duck collection that I took from late 2021/ early 2022. He was swimming so gently that I got a nearly perfect reflection.
I chose this pose due to the calmness of the water and the reflection.

We do talk about a lot of IT. I feel that personally.
Let me try and balance it out with a photo of a #duck . She’s cocking her head to look up in the tree behind me because as I was taking this photo a big chunk of dead Ivy fell out and landed with a crash.
I poisoned the Ivy in that tree last year with Cut+Paste gel and it’s just now fallen out of the tree.
This duck’s name is Moonlight and she’s usually the first to come and steal worms and bugs when I’m digging the garden.
I have 68 photos and videos of the #duck race to sort through! #talgarthfestival #Talgarth
I was scanning the pond and wetland area at a local park when I noticed this male mallard out in the open all by himself. He would occasionally open his eyes to see what was going on.
I love that his eyes are closed and it shows moments of solitude.

I could take pictures of the wood duck all day. I love the stunning colors!
Per all about birds - Wood Ducks have a unique shape among ducks—a boxy, crested head, a thin neck, and a long, broad tail.
In good light, males have a glossy green head cut with white stripes, a chestnut breast and buffy sides.
