This gorgeous view earned a feature on IG . It made my day! And how fortuitous: Today we celebrate Nature Photography Day.

Nature Photography Day is celebrated annually on June 15th to encourage people to explore the outdoors and capture the beauty of the natural world. Created in 2006 by the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), it also promotes environmental conservation.

I am so into bird photography these days that I feel landscapes have moved a little bit into the shadow. But birds are nature, too. 😉

Mr. and Mrs American Wigeon had a lovely float along the shores. These are gorgeous ducks and they have an interesting call sound. I am leaving a link here and you can listen to it.

I don't think I have ever posted a Gadwall, have I?

Gadwall are ducks and about the same size as Mallards.Gadwall breed mainly in the Great Plains and prairies but we welcome them in Alaska, too. On migration and in winter, look for Gadwall in reservoirs, ponds, fresh and salt water marshes, city parks, sewage ponds (😒), or muddy edges of estuaries and that is exactly where I found this one.

Happy Sunday! This Swan was taking off and I thought the semi-hidden out of focus green dots make for an interesting take on the overall photo.

Happy Saturday to you, my Friends, and happy birthday to me. 😆 The day is off to a great start.

Mama Mallard and her three little ones also seem to enjoy the day and the sunshine on the water. Everywhere to turn, I see little ones coming out and onto the water. Later this afternoon, I'll be checking up on the colts to see how they are doing.
