A preening Mallard girl made the ripples, which looked cool in the reflections of the cattail leaves.
Another in the series of reworked photos taken during previous visits to the Toronto Zoo. This one is from 2016.
Luminar4 used to remove the background and play with the tonality.
Today's theme is the male Australian King parrot, a species of parrot endemic to eastern Australia. I saw this one preening his feathers in a wildlife corridor that passes close to my home

I never like to frighten birds away and felt pretty comfortable since he/she remained perched on one foot and continued to preen. It was one of the better encounters in recent months. Green Heron preening on Horsepen Bayou.

Rod took this on a cold day with ice on the water... It was a bit busy with branches and debris on the ice so I had a go at drawing with Procreate to create a different feel.
HTT!
Even though it was a winter day, this American Dipper took a break from foraging for food to engage in an energetic bout of preening. This is an essential activity, all the more so since the bird was immersing itself in cold water, and when not getting wet the air temperature was around freezing. This scene took place on a stretch of the Bow River in Carburn Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
And now for something completely different. Standing on the boardwalk at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center I looked almost straight down and saw this mottled duck preening. During the preening process, ducks turn into contortionists and watching them can be quite entertaining. I hope some of you are entertained by this quirky shot.
A snowy egret, having just preened wears the evidence of his activity at the end of its beak. I did very little processing to this. I exposed for the white of the egret and the rest fell into blackness which I thought was kind of nice
Continuing my coastal ecosystem series with this preening Brown Pelican.
Brown Pelicans live in estuaries and coastal marine habitats along both the east and west coasts. This one was found perched and preening atop a weathered wharf pole near a fish cleaning station in Lamar, Texas.
