A female mallard duck floats on deep blue-grey water with her head tucked into her wing, revealing the intricate pattern of her brown and cream speckled feathers and a flash of iridescent purple-blue on her folded wing. Small ripples radiate outward across the still water around her, and her orange-tipped bill is just visible tucked against her body.

I almost missed #WildlifeWednesday so, here is a last minute submission - a cute female mallard resting in a small pond.

Despite being general jerks, and very common, Mallards are actually one of my favourite ducks. The females have that incredibly gorgeous […]

It’s a fact!
Manatees are semi-social, but also somewhat solitary animals. Though they sometimes gather in small, informal groups, they have no leader or real herd structure. The strongest bonds are between mother and calf pairs. savethemanatee.org/facts #WildlifeWednesday

🦢 In early spring mated swans start their annual courtship by building nests on grassy hummocks or muskrat houses. 🪹

Last year's young start their own journey, but a lifelong mate won't be found until they are 2-7 years old. This will be their summer of fun & freedom! 🤟🫶✌️

Happy Wednesday! ❤️

Virunga Twin Mountain Gorillas Boost Endangered Population Numbers | Happy Eco News Virunga twin mountain gorillas born in early 2026 represent the first recorded births of the year and a rare event for the critically endangered species in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Rangers in Virunga National Park recently discovered a rare set of mountain gorilla twins born into the Wilungula family. This is incredible, as twins account for only about 1% of gorilla births. happyeconews.com/virunga-twin...

Another look back in portrait from the Mule Deer buck I named Poker Face, with one huge ear sunlit and the other shaded, as he climbs up the forested hillside filling out the frame...which kinda has a little hidden yin/yang vibe going on. Am I right? ;~)

One day you'll look back
and realise how hard it was,
and just how well you did.
