This Glossy Ibis pair are very striking looking in their mating plumage of deep reddish brown almost maroon color and the shiny, iridescent wing feathers. This pair was working very hard on their nest in order to start their family, but then they left and made their nest a foot or so deeper into the bush. But Lucky Me I got a photo of them out more in the open.

For those of you that are not aware of the differences in the male and female Bald Eagles.
Female is on your left. Larger than the male. The beak is more massive and the jaw line extends back under her eye.
Male is on your right. Smaller than the female. Smaller beak. Jaw line does not extend as far back. AND he looks like he has eye makeup on!
The yellow-billed duck is a dabbling duck which is an abundant resident breeder in southern and eastern Africa. This duck is not migratory but will wander in the dry season to find suitable waters. These are mallard-sized mainly grey ducks with a darker head and bright yellow bill. The wings are whitish below, and from above show a white-bordered green speculum. It is a bird of freshwater habitats in the fairly open country and feeds by dabbling for plant food mainly in the evening or at night. It nests on the ground in dense vegetation near water. Rarely found in suburban areas, in close proximity to golf courses, parks and lakes or dams. The male has a teal-like whistle, whereas the female has a mallard-like quack.
I saw an old man sitting on a bench feeding a huge flock of ducks. There are signs not to feed the wildlife, but he was smoking and obviously not in very good health. So maybe this is his last winter and he is doing what he wants and the ducks are happy.
Male cinnamon teal have a cinnamon-red head, neck, breast and belly. They have an iridescent green speculum, which is separated from a bluish shoulder patch by a white stripe. The back, rump, uppertail coverts and tail are a dull brown and the undertail coverts are black. They have a distinctive red eye, a black bill and yellow legs and feet. Female cinnamon teal are often confused with female blue-winged teal. They have a duller blue shoulder patch, an overall rustier color and are more heavily streaked.

This week's theme in the 52 weeks 2021 edition is "pairs"
I only realised when I went to upload my shot, that a similar concept was part of the examples.
Still sticking with it....

Steam Into History's GP9 6076 was heading up the FestivICE Seven Valleys Limited as it sat awaiting return to New Freedom. The purpose of the trip was to visit the ice sculptures in Seven Valleys, Glen Rock, Railroad, and New Freedom.
With 50 degree temperatures, the ice sculptures were mostly reduced to puddles, but the concept was nice.
With homemade coaches made from old flat cars and an old GP9 to power them, the train made for an odd pairing.
Built in 1959 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, the bland geep was on more or less home rails on the former PRR Northern Central.
