@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay challenge as #ducks. Here is a #WhiteCheekedPintail I saw when I visited the #Galapagos.

🌎 White-cheeked pintail (Anas bahamensis) The white-cheeked pintail, also known as the Bahama pintail or summer duck, is a medium-sized dabbling duck with a long neck and a pointed tail. It has a white face below small red eyes, a brown body, and a red-based grey bill. The White-cheeked pintail is found in parts of South America and the Caribbean, where it lives in wetlands, lakes, and ponds. It eats plants, seeds, and insects. Three subspecies are recognised. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Beto_MdP via Pixabay TARB
