#TwoDuckTuesday has been brought to you by a pair of misogynistic mallards who’re hogging the limelight and won’t let a female get a look in. Sorry about that.

Bird migration in #Ontario is off to a slow start with this continuing winter weather, but meanwhile, the Arctic ducks such as these Greater Scaup are still putting on a good show before they head back to the Arctic. #birds #birding #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birdphotography #Canada 🍁

Hurrah for the #MondayMallard!

The #SundaySwan is helpfully showing off a colour ring - I’ve sent the details to the colour ring person identified on https://cr-birding.org/ and am curious as to what they tell me. I understand from the ring that the bird must be at least 14 years old.

This male wood duck did not like the mallards getting too close to its partner. It proved fun to watch his defensive actions. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #nature #birdphotography #Ontario #Canada 🍁

Egyptian “goose”, much easier to photograph than sheep balancing.
