Mallards standing along the edge of the Rideau canal.

Lots of mallards passing through right now.
They're incredibly common here, but I never tire of the orange feet. 🥰
#DuckOutOfWater

Wood ducklings snoozing atop a slightly mossy log, against a backdrop of brilliant green reeds. A non-snoozing duckling at left has noticed the photographer, and gazes calmly in his direction.

A monster from the depths shares the log with the ducklings, bright yellow stripes and red ear-patch held well away from its shell.

Wood duck youngsters basking sleepily in the morning sun despite the proximity of an alien creature, namely a red-eared slider turtle.

While the obvious solution would be a flying duck, I opted for a Mandarin Duck, which like the Common Merganser breeds in tree holes.

Black bellied whistling duck standing on a duck box, facing right. A nice profile shot of a duck with unusual coloring. The back and neck shows a ruddy brown, the belly is black, the primaries are white, the head is gray, the crown is black, the legs and beak are pink. Also this sweet duck has a lovely complete white eye ring. The background is tall green marsh grass.

Hey everyone call off the search I found the best duck #birdoftheday #birds #duckoutofwater
