Two tiny ducklings following their mother in a Park in Munich.
It was an incredibly cute sight to see these adorable little things trying to do as mom did.

We only saw them once, and they were inside private property. We even thought about jumping the fence, but we were advised not to. So, the only solution? Follow the fence and find the closest point, about 100 meters away.
By the way, all my photos now have a machine tag "subject:distance" to give an idea of how far or close we were to the bird(s).

Either a very lost, or a very adventuresome female. This bird was found far from her normal range.
Photographed in the Morro Bay Estuary, San Luis Obispo County, California, USA. I was not the original finder of this bird.

El ánade real, ánade azulón o pato de collar/ Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae. Es un ánade de superficie muy común y extendido por el hemisferio norte.
Los ánades reales hibridan con sus parientes más cercanos dentro del género Anas, como el ánade sombrío, y con algunas especies más alejadas como el ánade rabudo, produciendo diversos híbridos que pueden ser totalmente fértiles.
se alimentan en la superficie del agua, llegando a sumergir medio cuerpo, o pastan cerca de las orillas. Los ánades reales son omnívoros y muy flexibles respecto a sus elecciones alimenticias.
Los ánades reales generalmente forman parejas (en octubre y noviembre en su área autóctona) solo hasta que las hembras ponen los huevos al principio de la primavera.
—————
The mallard (/ˈmælɑːrd, ˈmælərd/) or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa. It has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa. This duck belongs to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidae. Males (drakes) have green heads, while the females (hens) have mainly brown-speckled plumage. Both sexes have an area of white-bordered black or iridescent purple or blue feathers called a speculum on their wings; males especially tend to have blue speculum feathers.

This drake ring-necked duck was one of a flock at Lake Artemesia and he seemed quite content to just swim along as I snapped away. I captured this image while I was checking out how well my 2.x TC was working after I put it through lensalign calibration.
With the waters freezing up here now, I'm left with fewer birds and sunny days, so I'll be pulling a lot from the "archives" as we move through the winter.
Taken 6 February 2017 at Lake Artemesia, Maryland.
I had to walk off of the golf course because of back pain so I grabbed my camera and went for a walk. Watching these little goslings more than made up for missing out on my golf.
An unusual sighting at Oxley Common. First Freckled Duck I've seen there. Thanks to the Canada Crew for pointing me at it!
For the record.
La barnacla canadiense (Branta canadensis), también conocida como ganso de Canadá, es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae.
------------------------------------------------
The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, and its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. [...] Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
------------------------------------------------
Die Kanadagans (Branta canadensis) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae) und gilt als die weltweit am häufigsten vorkommende Gans. Ihr ursprüngliches Verbreitungsgebiet ist Nordamerika. Sie ist dort ein Charaktervogel des Tieflandes und brütet an Binnenseen der Prärie- und Ackerbaugebiete. Ihr in charakteristischer V-Formation erfolgender Zug in die Überwinterungsquartiere und die Rückkehr in die Brutreviere im Frühjahr, sind in Nordamerika Symbole für den Wechsel der Jahreszeiten.

This is the promised photo from yesterday's post of a Common Goldeneye drake. This is the "other" Goldeneye, a Barrow's Goldeneye drake which I read as "scarce" according to the Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America.
I had never seen either the Common or Barrow's Goldeneye duck before moving to Alaska and this last fall and early this spring I was treated to opportunities to capture shots of immature males and females but never the adult males. When I was at Spenard Crossing in Anchorage the other day I could see that there were some adult Goldeneye drakes but they were so far away, so I took a chance and walked through a treacherous area to get to a spit of land closer to these ducks. It paid off handsomely as I managed, much to my surprise, to capture both the Common and Barrow's drakes. This photo is the adult Barrow's drake. I posted the Common drake last night and put a small photo in the comment section below so you can see the differences between them.
By the way, that is ice in the background. Spenard Crossing has much less ice than Westchester Lagoon right now, but there is still quite a bit of it.
Taken 19 April 2018 at Spenard Crossing, Anchorage, Alaska.
Loads of these around the Forth at the moment. Not long arrived from Iceland they are staging here feeding in the stubble fields before heading south, probably to the rich agricultural lands of East Anglia
Mallards are highly adaptable, found in a variety of habitats including wetlands, rivers, lakes, ponds, and even urban parks and golf courses. They prefer shallow waters where they can dabble for food.
Meanwhile, not far away another family on the hunt. Maybe not as cute as the Pacific Black ducklings but not without appeal.

This American Wigeon drake was with his mate and swimming along a small channel in the Beluga Slough when I captured this image of him. He was a little wary of me but went about his business of dabbling for food.
Taken 16 May 2018 at Beluga Slough, Homer, Alaska.
I saw some American Wigeons on the Choptank River in Cambridge, Maryland, and I was surprised how aggressive they were in the midst of other ducks. The drake has such interesting plumage, a green iridescent face mask with a white head and a Carmel colored body. He's a spectacular duck!
Taken 6 March 2017.
It looks like these three Trumpeter Swans are practically on top of each other as they fly away from Westchester Lagoon in Anchorage. A group of about eight of them apparently were disturbed by a couple of kayakers and decided to depart.
Shortly after their departure a couple of folks approached and pointed to some Bufflehead ducks on the lake and asked if those were the swans. I suppose we all start somewhere but that brought a smile to my face.
It won't be long before the swans are gone as they migrate to warmer climes. I also found them at Potter Marsh this morning and got some photos of them there. At Westchester, they stay so far away that the only shots you can get are when they fly or if you have a kayak ;)
Taken 30 September 2017.
