A male and female northern pintail duck pair. They are standing amidst green shrubby ground. A blue pond is behind them. The male is standing with his neck stretched straight up. His head is brown and he has a black beak. His neck, breast, and belly are a solid cream. His mate stands next to him, her neck bent into an S shape. She is mottled brown and cream all over, and has a black bill.

A male Muscovy duck is standing by a lily pad covered pond, body facing the pond, which is mostly blurred in the background top two thirds of the picture. Its head is turned to the right, right side of its head visible.
A wood duck couple is standing on a path facing to their left, right side of their bodies mostly visible. Another male wood duck is standing behind them. The path is mostly shaded where the ducks are, but is sunny in the background. At the top of the frame some rocks and plants are visible marking the edge of the path

* The Ducks: * Three ducks are clearly visible standing on the top rail of the fence. * The one on the far left is facing forward, showing its white neck and dark body. * The two in the center are oriented toward the right; one has its head tucked back as if preening. * A fourth duck is partially visible behind the fence on the right, mostly showing its black and white back. * Muscovy ducks are easily identified by the red, fleshy "caruncles" around their beaks and eyes, which are visible on the ducks in this image. * The Setting: The fence overlooks a green, grassy area with some shrubs and trees in the soft-focus background. * Photography: The image was captured with a 40-150mm lens at a focal length of 150mm (300mm equivalent). The aperture was f/5.0, and the shot was taken from about 16 meters (53 feet) away. 2025-05-26 09:49

> Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksOutOfWater, any Duck that is out of the water but NOT FLYING. The Alt Theme is Finches, any Finch will do.
Three house finches, two male and one female, perch at a tubular bird-feeder. The female finch is in the middle. One of the two males is out of focus and is diagonally below the female on the right. The remaining male is to the left of and slightly above the female. The female is in profile and facing left. The background is out-of-focus green foliage.
Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksOutOfWater, any Duck that is out of the water but NOT FLYING. The Alt Theme is #Finches, any Finch will do.
I've gone with the alt theme.

#BirdoftheDay #DucksoutofWater #Birding #Birds Muscovy Duck X Mallard hybrid. Look at neck. I think he's got some beagle in the mix too.
For the #birdoftheday theme of #DucksOutOfWater I have a pair of green winged teal ducks running across a muddy bank of the Nisqually NWR. For the alt theme of #Finches I have the often nearby house finch, a very pretty bird that I try to not overlook.

Pair of black bellied whistling ducks on top of a nesting box. One is laying down the other is standing as they enjoy their afternoon. Located in the low country of south carolina.
The black bellied whistling duck sounds like a squeaky toy and I think that is absolutely adorable 🔥💜🌿🪶🐾 #BirdOfTheDay #DucksOutOfWater #EastCoastKin #Birds #Photography #Witchsky #NativeSky #Indigisky #Resist #MMIW #SaveOurPlanet #ProtectOurWildlife

A mallard duck couple walking on cement barriers in a mostly calm bay. The female is facing left close to the left side of the photo on the larger barrier farther away from camera. The male is facing left close to the right side of the photo on the lower barrier closer to the camera. There's a reflection of him in the lightly rippled pale blue water.
Walk the line
I shared another photo of this mallard duck couple a while back.

An image looking directly down on a pair of black-bellied whistling ducks sitting a branch sitting in water.
Technically, these black-bellied whistling ducks are #DucksOutOfWater, for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Florida USA. #Birds #Photography #Ducks #Nature #WildlifePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026
Female and male mallard, close shot of them on a dock with water in the background. Her left leg is bent, she is looking back at the camera, the drake with a very bright green head is looking at her.
Common merganser duck perched in the branch of a tree. It may have been frightened by something, unusual to see them out of the water. It has a deep rust coloured head with fringed feathers and a mottled tan body.
Late again with #BirdOfTheDay but since it's #DucksOutOfWater I knew there were more than a few in my library. My picks for today - a mallard pair on the dock (she was recovering from a leg injury, he was very attentive), and an unusual capture of a merganser in a tree.
