Wikipedia: The common ostrich (Struthio camelus) or simply ostrich, is a species of large flightless bird native to certain large areas of Africa. It is one of two extant species of ostriches, the only living members of the genus Struthio in the ratite order of birds. The other is the Somali ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes), which was recognized as a distinct species by BirdLife International in 2014 having been previously considered a very distinctive subspecies of ostrich.

A Common Loon in breeding plumage on one of our northern lakes. Just love to sit in the boat and watch them and sometimes they come in very close as this one did.

I visited the Pollinator Prairie for the first time this year. Only there about 30 minutes. Not a lot going. Sorry for so many photos, as always. :) No need to comment. A few more coming later.
One from the summer. Amazing to think they'll be south of the equator by now, not as far south as the Arctic Tern but still a fair mileage

The common marmoset usually lives in the mountain forests of northeastern Brazil but has been introduced to many other areas in South America. Found a group of common marmosets in a green park near Rio de Janeiro during my last layover...can you see the two babies on her back? so well camouflaged...
Caught this Female on a River of spawning Salmon.
Common Mergansers dive underwater to catch fish. After the chicks leave the nest in summer, the female stays with them as they grow up while males gather in flocks. In winter, mergansers form large flocks on inland reservoirs and rivers. They stay in these tight flocks to feed and court during the cold months. In migration and winter, they mix with other fish-eating, diving ducks such as Bufflehead, golden-eyes, and other species of mergansers.
These ducks live mainly on freshwater rivers and lakes. They are rare in the ocean, but they sometimes use saltwater estuaries in winter. They nest in tree cavities in northern forests near rivers and lakes.
I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.
Thanks for Viewing.
