This hardy species of the merganser family will winter further north than any of the other members and will stay with us during the winter months as long as the water stays open. They prefer fresh water to salt water.
Alaska to Newfoundland is their breeding territory and they don't seem to have a nesting preference using anything from man-made boxes to nesting cavities to nesting on the ground.
They do tend to be one of the more social waterfowl species and can be found in huge flocks on lakes and do accept other species of diving ducks midst their own numbers.
Lots of open water is an asset to them when they go airborne as they require a running start across the top of the water for a distance. Once in the air they fly a straight line to their destination.
Females like this one make good use of their long body toting their ducklings around after they hatch.
Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis)
One of a flock of around 60 birds seen in the Sneydes Rd. paddocks yesterday. This one was taking off into a 40 knot (75 Km/h 47 mph) gale.
Taken this past June in Etosha, Namibia. The young zebra colt was having a great time running and kicking up his heels and in this image he is actually airborne. He was quite young as his fur coat still has the appearance of being slightly curly. I love them at this age and was thrilled to have seen so many young ones on this trip . This image is in honor of you Lanette Browder as I know how much you love zebras and especially babies.
Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday and a very blessed one ...

Lower New York Bay, a few minutes after takeoff from JFK Airport, heading west to Las Vegas. -- August 31, 2022
The cygnets, nearly-swans, were a source of interest on North Pond, Bishops Waltham. But last time I was there on the long wooden footbridge which crosses the pond, they were nowhere to be seen. A look around the other end of the pond accessible by the main road, also revealed only their absence.
And then a friend told me that they are taken to a sanctuary for safe-keeping during the winter. So, hopefully, spring will show them all, resplendent in their fully-grown white plumage and hopefully we will be allowed there to take their photo.
