Habitat : Le canard colvert vit dans n'importe quelle sorte de zone humide, rivières calmes, étangs, marais d'eau douce ou salée, lacs d'eau douce, estuaires et parfois aussi baies côtières abritées. Il a besoin de végétation flottante et émergente pour lui procurer sa nourriture, les invertébrés aquatiques et les graines de ces plantes.
Quelques populations sont résidentes si les ressources de nourriture et les zones abritées sont abondantes.
Comportements : Le canard colvert est un canard barboteur se nourrissant à la surface de l'eau, et plongeant la tête sous la surface en basculant son corps, la queue tendue verticalement hors de l'eau, tout en nageant. Il patauge dans les eaux peu profondes mais ira aussi "brouter" sur le sol ou glaner des graines dans les cultures en hiver.
La parade nuptiale voit le mâle exhiber ses plumes brillantes. Il nage autour de la femelle avec le cou tendu et ensuite, il projette sa tête en arrière sur son dos. Il dresse aussi son corps sur l'eau avec la poitrine gonflée et rejette un peu d'eau par le bec tandis qu'il émet un léger sifflement. Puis, il dresse rapidement sa queue deux ou trois fois. A la fin, il hérisse les plumes de la tête, tend le cou juste au ras de l'eau et là, il nage dans tous les sens, comme s'il était fou ! L'accouplement a lieu dans l'eau après une parade élaborée.
La femelle choisit habituellement le territoire près de l'endroit où elle est née, et certaines femelles reviennent chaque année au même endroit. La femelle est une excellente mère. Si elle est surprise au nid par un intrus, elle bat des ailes et lance des cris rauques en courant sur le sol, comme si elle était blessée. Cette attitude suffit en général à éloigner les prédateurs du nid.

Adventureland centers on a sweeping marketplace - and Tropical Imports is right at the hub of shipping and travel, located just adjacent to the Jungle Navigation Company's main dock and office depot.
Utilizing the ruins of an older stucco building, this shop offers the best in goods from the Jungle Cruise's shipping department - mostly fresh fruits and mosquito netting.

Disneyland's Tropical Imports began as a small thatched kiosk along the main thoroughfare of Adventureland, but was expanded into a larger snack stall in the 1990s when the dock and queue of the Jungle Cruise was expanded to the current two-story boathouse. The space has been used over the years for many things - from selling fruit and drinks to stroller parking.
My version lives in the "real" jungle outpost that Adventureland seeks to let tourists explore in the theme park - a land of mystery and discovery.
A pretty non-japanese man observes passers-by from a christmas market stall on the square in front of JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka, Japan. There were also stalls selling beer, mutzen (German donuts), stollen (fruit bread) and glühwein. Why not?!
this is my fabric for Fluffy Sheep Quilting's lovely charm swap here ...
This is a beautiful quality, slightly heavier natural callico-ish cotton ...
My lovely Japanese friend, Tomo, brought it back for me last summer :)
It will now be cut up into 5" charm squares to share around ... Yay!

Chinese steamer 8419 crosses the Des Moines River. The best smoke show they put on was way before the middle, but I'll take what I can get! This steam engine was the last one built in China in 1988, and sent straight over to the US, hence the American and Chinese flags at the front. Even our steam engines come from China....AUGH!!!!!
