The Common Loon appears on Canadian currency, including the one-dollar "loonie" coin and the previous series of $20 bills. It is the provincial bird of Ontario. Loons have long been considered by many North Americans as beautiful and special, symbolizing wilderness and solitude.

Brown Pelicans are a welcome staple around Florida beaches and waterways. I photographed this juvenile standing on the shore one morning while he was posing nicely for his picture. Added complimentary textures for an artistic presentation.

It's , so here's a male (and seemingly molting?) mallard flapping its wings in the water.

This seems to be a part of their cleaning ritual. They usually dunk their body into the water, clean themselves with their beaks and, when they're done, shake off excess water like you see in the photo — that is, at least, what it looks like to me!

I keep forgetting about these days — so, once again, here's my photo but one day late.

A female mallard taking a nap on a patch of grass next to the nearby lake. Isn't she adorable?

Mallard ducklings are so darn cute! These adorable babies perked up when Mama started moving them along the upended roots of the tree in the pond. They were going for a swim. Such fluffy sweeties with bright eyes and smiles.They make your heart happy.

A family of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) crossing McLean Pond (link below) in Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. It is the same time of year again, so I may head out to a few local areas soon and see if there are goslings/ducklings yet.
