Wood Ducks (M)

Counterclockwise wins

Have you have ever witnessed a group of ducklings swimming in the water? It's like poetry in motion!

This large group of merganser ducklings followed closely behind mom in a synchronized pattern

This was taken at a small wildlife preserve in a suburban neighborhood in Bear, DE, USA.

Can you figure out what the two warblers are?

.... and social distancing. Gobble-gobble!

Only male turkeys “gobble.” Wild turkeys are said to have 28 recognizable communication calls, such as the “lost call,” the alarming “putt” call, and the “kee-kee run.”

.....performed by these 2 BROWN PELICANS on the beach of Costa Rica.,

No perfect 10 score here because their timing is a bit off !!!

I've been curious lately about the way shorebirds synchronize their flight in groups. These American Avocets aren't as agile as many smaller birds, but they can still fly very closely together and turn on a dime. The two birds in this photo were part of a larger formation. One of the birds has rotated its body to change the direction of its flight. The other bird will quickly follow. How do they do this in large groups? If they behave like some other birds in flight, each individual is watching several other nearby individuals. When one bird starts a maneuver, neighboring birds quickly follow in a wave. Here's an article that describes the behavior:

I scattered safety pins on a light box and started playing. Loved the repetition, the light and reflections, the simplicity, the lines. This looks like synchronized swimmers to me.

Little Lightroom fun here using the healing brush ... creating a second eagle there in flight. A nice close in flyby of this eagle and shad.
