The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

There is spring in the talk of the chickadees outside my window, and in the cheerful bluster of a red squirrel in the hickory :-)

Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. Thats why we call it the present.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesdays is hearts. This is perfect since we have Mr. Teddy Bear and Princess with us to celebrate love and most importantly Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays !
As we all know by now, Princess and Teddy Bear are very much in love. But like in many relationships, Mr. Teddy Bear is the most romantic one… He loves surprising his Princess with lovely surprises. This week, he decorated his orange apartment with hearts… Hearts are everywhere and the whole decor screams : love !
But Princess was very confused: Valentine’s Day isn’t in March ! Why all those hearts then ? Why decorating for Valentine’s Day one year ahead ? It is way to early !
But for Mr. Teddy Bear everyday is Valentine’s Day when he is with Princess…. and the 2 just kissed under a beautiful red heart.
But I have a meeting this morning and i need my coffee so I will not be able to continue that story … and it is a family friendly Photostream so we will not be able to see what happens after the kiss ;-).
I wish you all an amazing day !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and I think that bananas are truly great to celebrate this day ! As we all know, bananas are yellow so perfect for this awesome yellow day !
Last time I worked with a banana for my picture it was a disaster. Not only I had to eat 2,5 bananas (I did not want to waste some food) and my photo studio (which is my coffee table ) was a total mess… So at first I was really scared to have another banana shoot… I was afraid of going bananas (LOL sorry, I had to get this joke out of my system). But, this time my banana wasn’t peeled ! And the banana peel makes a difference. My mind was so peaceful and zen that I even invited Yellow Lady to share a banana with me… She came as fast as she could on her red bike, wearing her tiny (and brand new !!) red boots and her red purse. She is stylish even when she is biking ! And so we had a banana photo shoot and a glass of sherry for Yellow Lady and a gin and tonic for me after…
But right now, I have to go and grab a coffee before my meeting… and before the snowstorm. Yes, apparently we will get some extra snow in few hours…. I truly believe that snowstorms should be illegal during pandemic! Who is with me on that one ?
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later my friends and have an amazing day !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
I'll be there when you're down and you're lonely
I will be lonely with you
Yeah I'll be there for you
Anywhere that you go I will follow, follow you into
It doesn't matter where I go
As long as you know
I'll be your shadow
It doesn't matter where life goes
I'm holding you close
Today, tomorrow
No words needed!!!!!!! ♡♡♡
