#Birdoftheday theme #DucksOutOfWater- taken at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island, BC.
2 birds, a mother in back and her duckling in front. They are resting on pebbles with bits of green foliage surrounding them. The mother fishing duck has a rusty brown head & crest with a long deep red bill that has a hook on the end. Her body is a light grey. The duckling has a rusty brown back & top of the head. The chin & breast feathers are white. It has a stripe underneath it's eye, running from the base of the bill to the rust brown.

Didn't know that Rob would put the day as #DucksOutOfWater
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksOutOfWater.
This was taken back in May of this year. I knew I’d need it for something at some point, today’s the day. 😂

Two mallard ducks out of water. One is a male, with a brown head and and wings. The other is white and sleeping. They are together on green grass, with a lake to the right hand side, and green bushes in the background.
The theme is #DucksOutOfWater for #BirdOfTheDay. #birds #mallards #wildlife #UKWildlife

A very late entry for today’s #DucksOutOfWater prompt — a mother (I presume) Common Eider and a couple of little ones are perched on a rock, just barely out of water.
Focus is a bit off, but I like the overall scene.

Male mallards near a pond bank. Two mallards sit in the background in the shade, high up the bank. One stands on a branch projecting over the water. He is either preening or sleeping. A fourth is still in the water, beating his wings as he bathes. His back is clearly shown as he rears out of the water, with his iridescent blue wing patches on display.

Close up photo of a Mallard, standing on a stick, on a very small island, in the middle of a stream. The duck and water are partially lit by dappled sunlight filtering through the unseen trees above. Mallards are common birds in the UK. This one, a male, has a grey belly, brown chest bright green head and yellow bill. The wings have a coloured stripe on them which is often hidden when the bird is sitting, unless, as in this case, the wings are partially lifted showing off the beautiful, broad dark blue bordered by a thin edge of white.

Here's a slightly bigger #DucksOutOfWater for #BirdOfTheDay 😆. #Mallard are so common in the Uk they're definitely underrated.

Widgeon on a muddy bank, black white and wavey grey on its body, it has a chestnut head with yellow forehead and a blue bill. It is looking down at the ground, most looking for food.
