Another bird species that was on my bucket list is shown here, and again a bird that I most of the time could only photograph far far away. This is the black necked grebe. Last year I saw that a group of 6 adults was staying in a pool not too far away, and after two visits to the area ("de groene jonker") I caught this grebe close to the shore while sleeping. Another wonderful bird species! Now added to my list is when they carry their chicks around!

The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.

Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.

The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

There were several pairs on the water. They were doing their braying calls which could be heard all over this urban storm water lake. I hope to get a pair engaged in their wonderful mating dance.

The streak-necked flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.

 

It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.

Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.

A view of the Bayview Trail in Mason Neck State Park. A 1.2 mile trail with heavy usage and considered easy. There are some stairs and it's well maintained. #MasonNeckStatePark #Virginia #hiking #randonnée #Wandern #nature #Natur #BayviewTrail #VirginiaStateParks #trail

A watery one for this feeding Trumpeter Swan.

This is the tide breaker located at New Brighton Merseyside, but climbing onto it with my camera and tripod was challenging at best...It was really slippy and neck breakingly risky...The things we do to get that shot. Lol.

The ring-necked duck is a fairly common diving duck that takes up residence here in Arizona during the winter and spring months. This is a male, the female being kind of brownish but with similar markings on the beak. According the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the oldest known ring-necked duck was at least 20 years, 5 months old. And he...um...didn't die of natural causes.

The Red-necked Grebe breeds on small inland lakes in Canada and Alaska, and winters along both coasts of North America. Boldly marked, vocal, and aggressive during the breeding season, it is quiet and subtly attired in winter.

A pretty duck, but why they called him Ring-neck instead of Ring-billed, is beyond me!

A last look at the Red-necked Phalaropes. They are on their way to their breeding gronds in Northern Canada and Alaska.

 

More shorebird species to appear on my photostream over the next few days.

A white-necked Jacobin displaying nicely.

There is a lot of care and planning goes into preparing for a successful brood, this red-necked grebe carefully places the eggs and regularly rotates and inspects.

 

I have observed this nest for a number of years, this pair arrives on almost fixed dates and has successfully raised many chicks. Red-necked grebe are little special in their anatomy, there legs are situated at the very back which makes these grebes little awkward on dry land, no problem on water where they spend most of their time.

As we are now approaching the dormant period of our annual cycle on the prairies - what we call winter - it is good to dream of new life life beginning with the arrival of spring.

A ring-necked duck floating around Pond 6 with purpose. A poorly named duck. In just the right light you can see a faint chestnut-colored ring around the base of its neck. Not a great mark to identify this species in the field, but according the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the ring around the neck stood out to a 19th century biologist that described the species using dead specimens. I've never seen a dead one, so I'll have to take their word for it.

I was lucky to see the UK's only naturalised parrot - The Ring-necked parakeet, he was popping in and out of a whole in the tree. Apparently they became established in the wild in the 1970's after a captive birds escaped or were released.
