The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

While camping at Durgin Lake in Khovd Western Mongolia we were treated to an impromptu concert by a family of musicians and throat singers right on the shore of the lake - very fun!

Alors portons un toast (à la bière, certes certes) en souvenir de ce qui fut la vie ouvrière d'un pays qui n'en finit pas de se tertiariser (qui a dit "libéraliser" ?)...

Confusion possible
Orchis simia est voisine de l'orchis guerrier (Orchis militaris) avec laquelle elle peut s'hybrider. Elle s'hybride également avec Orchis purpurea, donnant des individus dont les fleurs ont la forme de O. simia mais de couleur plus foncée, rappelant O. purpurea (Source Wikipédia).
Possible confusion
Orchis simia is close to the warrior orchis (Orchis militaris) with which it can hybridize. It also hybridizes with Orchis purpurea, giving individuals whose flowers are shaped like O. simia but darker in color, reminiscent of O. purpurea
