The Rare Headless Duck
Daffy no gotta head - found only in the cooling ponds around atomic power plants. They navigate via organic radar and absorb radiation in place of food.
Oops! I mean: 🙄
American Wigeon - Mareca americana
A medium sized dabbling duck that eats almost exclusively plants both in the water and by grazing in fields, parks and golf courses. They are found at least part of the year all the way from Northern Alaska to Central America and though not common Eurasian Wigeons are sometimes seen with American Wigeons in North America and American Wigeons with their Eurasian cousins in Asia. Their territories overlap in the Alaska/Siberia region.
They nest on dry land, often far from water and except when on or near their nest they are among the more vocal of ducks.
7DII, 100-400L mk2 +1.4x III @ 560, 1/400 @ f/8.0, ISO-1250 hand held in shade with warm afternoon light reflected from an open blue sky.
