Perfect title, #DucksonOneLeg and I love how her markings show in black and white.

I'm late to the party but it's still today in the West and today's #birdoftheday is #ducksOnOneLeg. I took this pic today at the gull puddle at Newport, Oregon's South Jetty. They are Greater White Fronted Geese, which are just big ducks, right? Am I pushing the envelope? Cheers!

#BirdOfTheDay ... #DucksOnOneLeg
Alternative are #Finches.
I can't believe that out of a gazillion photos, I only have these 2 duck one-footers...& the 2nd one is a bit of a cheat, as I caught her walking down our street! 🤭

A male duck is preening himself in a pond and standing on one leg on a submerged tree trunk. His coloration resembles that of a female because he is moulting.
Male mallard ducks like this guy undergo a major feather change called "eclipse plumage," shedding their bright green breeding feathers for camouflage to hide from predators while they are flightless and vulnerable during their molt. 💙

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksOnOneLeg. He is stretching and if you look closely, the other leg is under his tail.

I found a video with some #Ducksononeleg #BirdoftheDay, after seeing someone else post a Whistling duck shot, and looking back at phone pictures from last Christmas in Houston. #Birds #EastCoastKin #Photography 🪶 Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, volume up. Some traffic noise but also whistling!

A photo of a female northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata), a mottled brown duck that resembles a mallard but with a strikingly large bill. The duck is backlit and photographed from behind as it stands on one leg in shallow water and scratches its head with its other leg, which is very orange. Its face is turned toward the left of frame, showing off its unusual large beak. The water around it is pale and gray with plant debris floating in it.
Bonus shoveler. Look at that crazy bill.

A photo of four mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) resting on a large mossy log floating in a pond: three males in breeding plumage and one female. Two of the males and the female stand on one leg, the males with their eyes closed as they nap. The fourth duck preens his feathers. Reflections of autumn foliage are visible in the water, coloring it orange, brown, and green.
A photo of two male mallards ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) resting on a large piece of grayish-brown driftwood in a pond. One duck stands facing to the right and looking alert, with some down stuck to his bill. The other duck, on the right side of the composition and out of focus, stands on one leg with his head tucked under his wing as he naps.
A photo of a female mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) resting on one leg on a mossing fallen tree in a pond. Her bill is tucked under her wing, but her eye is open, watching the photographer.
A photo of a pair of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), a female and a male, resting on a large weathered log in a pond. The female is on the left and stands on one leg with her bill tucked under her wing. The male is sitting with his legs underneath his body, his head also tucked under his wing.
For #BirdOfTheDay #DucksOnOneLeg: So many mallards.

I finally bit the bullet and started editing my old duck and geese photos. This one fits today's #BirdoftheDay theme, #DucksonOneLeg. She's a pretty little mallard, posing in the grass.

A mallard drake, standing on a rock with a pond behind, faces the camera and lifts its left leg. You can still see part of its orange webbed foot behind its body. The photo shows the duck’s distinctive brown breast, white collar, green head facing right, and yellow bill. Photo taken in Walpole MA USA
Look ma! One leg! #BirdOfTheDay #DucksOnOneLeg

Mallard male with one leg stands in grass - burrell lake park- lower burrell pa - spring 2023
#BirdOfTheDay #DucksOnOneLeg meet Henry. He only has one leg now but he is A FIGHTER! He lost his other leg bc of fishing line being wrapped around it to long. He even learned to land on one leg like a champ! He really went thru a lot so he deserves some type of recognition 👏!

A male Hooded Merganser is swimming past a pair of Mallards standing and sleeping in shallow water. The Merganser is swimming right to left in profile. The Mallards have their butts to the camera. The male is on the left standing on one leg, his head is fully hidden. The female is on the right, her head is partially visible over her back, and her third eyelid is covering her cornea.
@robcrank68.bsky.social Has issued a challenging theme for #BirdOfTheDay: #DucksOnOneLeg (alternate option is #finches).
My choice feels like a bit of a cheat, but 🤷🏼♀️. (Note - I recently posted a Shoveler preening on one leg, and didn't want to repost.)

A pair of Pintail (Anas acuta), the male swimming on the reservoir, the female standing on one leg on a dead branch over it. Both are moulting, i.e. exchanging their feathers. Aschheim Reservoir, Bayern, Germany
@robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen quite a tough theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay: #DucksOnOneLeg
I painfully realized that I have very few photographs of standing ducks , and nearly all of them are on both feet.
In the end I remembered some pintails (Anas acuta), and one of them was saving me.😅 🪶
