Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection and this male #ManedDuck probably looks pretty good in its reflection. Tough to imagine water birds ever getting anything done looking at their gorgeous self!

Much to my daughter's consternation, this duck and its family enjoy her swimming pool and patio perches. She doesn't understand why I would be so delighted to have them in my yard. Of course, I don't have a pool to clean--

🌏 Australian wood duck (Chenonetta jubata) ♀ The Australian wood duck, maned duck, or maned goose is a medium-sized duck resembling a small goose. Females have brown heads with distinct white stripes above and below their eyes, and mottled underparts. Males feature a dark brown head with a small mane, a grey body, and a mottled breast. They are widely distributed across mainland Australia, favouring grasslands, woodlands, and shallow wetlands. Unlike many ducks, they primarily graze on land, often in flocks, and are frequently seen perching in trees. Their calls include croaky "gnow" sounds, with females having a louder, rising call. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by pen_ash via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/australian-wood-duck-duck-wood-duck-8826649/ DKEV

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pairs, any bird pairs whether it be same of mixed pairs and these #ManedDuck qualify! The left one with a darker head is a male and the one with a lighter head and dash through the eye is a female. Hopefully mates!
