Mottled Ducks are regulars on the lake but come autumn more show up. The influx has begun.

#BirdOfTheDay is #Mr&Mrs #MottledDuck and their ducklings. I didn’t ask if they were actually married, I have my doubts.
A photo of a family of mottled ducks taken from the bank of a small lake, mom in the lead, dad taking up the rear, and 8 ducklings. The greenish colored lake takes up the entire frame of the photo.

I love how the Mottled Ducks seems so relaxed here. Typically, very little disturbs their immersion in swimming, foraging or napping.

Two Mottled Ducks, one dunking his head under the water to forage ... and the other napping.

I’m going to also do Rob’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ducklings because how cute is this brood of #MottledDuck babies?! #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
A group of seven brown fuzzy ducklings with yellow faces are clumps in some shallow algae covered water.

Per @robcrank68.bsky.social the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksInTheAir. Here is a #MottledDuck with somewhere to be. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
A brown duck flies against pale foliage. Its bill is yellow and its feet are orange. There is a bright blue patch on top of its wing.

It’s #MallardMonday! This guy (who is probably a #mallard #MottledDuck cross) showed up behind our Disney World hotel room balcony and DEMANDED snacks (which we didn’t have). Someone’s definitely been breaking the “Don’t feed the wildlife” rule… #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
A brown duck with orange feet, a green stripe on top of his head, a yellow bill, and orange feet stands on some grass looking at the photographer.

For @robcrank68.bsky.social’s brief of #DucksOutOfWater, here is a female #HoodedMerganser, a sweet #MottledDuck family, a female #RingNeckedDuck pair (one of which is ignoring the brief…), and a couple #BlackBelliedWhistlingDuck. #duck #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
A muted brown duck with a reddish crest and a flat bill sits on a concrete divider with water in the background. Two brown ducks with lighter brown streaking and light brown heads with a darker brown line through the eye sit on the grass next to a clutch office fluffy ducklings. Two brown ducks, one on a dirt bank and one in the water, are turned in profile to the camera. They have white bellies and black bills with white stripes at the tip. They have a white eye ring. There is tall grass behind them. Two ducks are nestled among bright green water hyacinths and reeds. The ducks are reddish brown with tan heads and a reddish brown stripe on top of their heads. Their bills are a bright orange and there’s a white eye ring around their black eyes. The rear such is tucked in on itself while the front one looks at the camera.

For #TwoSpeciesTuesday we have some fairly common #MottledDuck friends—and a glaringly uncommon (here in Florida) #SnowGoose. Not a great picture, but if you see a snow goose in Florida, you take what you can! #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
Birds sit on a grassy bank. In the bottom right corner are four brown ducks with yellow bills. In the left center is a squat white goose that is dusted with gray.

Love this old photo of a mottled duck where its bill looks like goofy.
