The Bufflehead is an incredibly small species of duck, with an average length of 34 centimetres or 13.5 inches. The male is easily identifiable due to its large, rounded head that is dark and iridescent with a large white wedge of feathers at the back. The female has a dark greyish brown head with a white oval-shaped patch behind and below the eye. They typically nest in holes created by woodpeckers.

The Long-tailed Duck is unmistakeable in appearance due to the male's long tail feathers and the distinctively patterned white and dark brown plumage of both sexes. They are a sea duck, and typically spend their winters in saltwater. Additionally, they are very effective divers, and can dive to depths of 60 metres or 200 feet.

Battle Royale

Pool Party! (E-1)

These birds are loosely grouped by their associations with water, and because I didn't want the family BR to get too big. Keep your eyes peeled- there may be someone here who got a little lost, but we don't discriminate here!

Some memories from the phenomenal Scotland trip we went on last year, which we began travelling to a year ago tomorrow. I don't know where that year has gone! What a fantastic and wild time it was. The photos in this set are a mixture of some I still hadn't got around to processing and did so this evening and some key ones from the trip that I processed at the time, each bringing back fond memories. The photos are of; Corn Bunting at Banff in Aberdeenshire, view at Findhorn Bay and Long-tailed Duck at Burghead Harbour one of the birds of the trip both in Moray, another of the star species of the trip and one of the main ones we wanted to see Otter at Dervaig on Mull, a view on the Aberdeenshire coast, Lapwing at Lochindorb, Black Guillemot on Loch Eil and view on Mull.

Long-Tailed Duck.  Three of these ducks are currently hanging out in Nashville, Tennessee.  Typically they are found above the Arctic Circle; they will sometimes winter along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as the Great Lakes.

day 25

today's bird is the long-tailed duck!

- long-tailed ducks can dive down to 200 feet to forage :0)

- of all diving ducks, long-taileds spend the most time underwater

- they wear their breeding plumage in the winter and non-breeding plumage in the spring and summer

The Mallard is easily one of the most recognizable ducks in North America, and is incredibly widespread. The male has a shiny green head, curly black tail feathers and a yellow bill, while the female is mottled brown with an orange bill that has a distinctive orange saddle shape on top. Most domestic ducks breeds are descended from Mallards.

The Long-tailed Duck is unmistakeable in appearance due to the male's long tail feathers and the distinctively patterned white and dark brown plumage of both sexes. They are a sea duck, and typically spend their winters in saltwater. Notably, quite a few of these birds also overwinter in Toronto, which is the largest urban centre in Canada. Additionally, they are very effective divers, and can dive to depths of 60 metres or 200 feet.

My personal highlights - 2023 - part 2:

Baby Birds!!!! I love the season of baby bird cuteness. And many of those pictures are from my neighborhood and prove that you don't need to travel to experience wildlife.

Then this afternoon it was also great to see my first Great Northern Divers, Long-tailed Duck the stunning bird we saw here in December and Black-necked Grebes of the year at Hayling Island Oysterbeds.
