MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: MALLARD DUCK vs. COMMON CUCKOO

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have a returning crowd favorite, the feathered showman of the ring, the mallard duck!

with that glossy bottle-green head and that perfectly oiled plumage, this wrestler looks like he means business. this dabbling duck might prefer to peacefully forage for food underwater, but don't let that fool you - this is a bird that knows how to hold its own in a fight. similar to most ducks, this wrestler can be identified by a deep, loud quack - powerful, but endearing.

IN THE RED CORNER, this is no broken clock - it's the common cuckoo!

there's nothing common about this bird. this avian powerhouse is a master of deception and disguise, laying its eggs in the nests of other birds. even that barred plumage is part of its trickery, resembling an eurasian sparrowhawk and striking fear into the hearts of its opponents. and that call? ladies and gentlemen, if you are a fan of novelty clocks, you are surely in for a treat here. listen to that two-syllable coo-coo! is the cuckoo bird ready to swoop in and steal the show? let's find out!

Mallard! A dabbling duck - referring to how they “dabble” or tip toward and partially submerge in the water to forage for aquatic vegetation.

Joseph-Théodore Deck (French, 1823-1891)

Tile Plaques, c.1880

Earthenware with underglaze & overglaze enamel decoration

The vibrant turquoise blue in these works was one of the signature glazes developed by ceramist Joseph-Théodore Deck, who was inspired by Turkish ceramics. The turquoise came to be so closely identified with the artist that it came to be known in the late 1800s as ‘Deck blue.’”

Behold, a duck

Took me a little more than 3 days but, here’s a duck for my dad!

I chose a mallard since I wanted to make it stand out with the green and I just love how he came out.

My mom’s friend even gave me a lot of left over yarns including the white fuzzy yarn used for his neck and wings!

hope you all have a great day!

art belongs to me, misskazehana

#MallardDuck

One of Canada's most iconic species across the country.

I spoke with a few Waterfowl Biologists including some of the foremost authorities on duck biology on many occasions and let me tell you that I cherish, or most beloved, Ducks even more. Why?

Because life for a Mallard is really not easy and once they reach adulthood, the survival is about 70 percent per year and that means the chance for a pair to make it through one year together is 49 percent. So if you keep going with that math you will soon realize the chance for them of being together six years is only a 1.4 percent

There are simply too many predators who likes to eat nesting eggs and new borns like Hawks, Owls, Raccoons, Snakes, Skunks, Fox, Eagles, Coyotes, Snapping Turtles, etc…

And lets not forget a tremendous amount of Hunters and I know perfectly well what they will say to defend themselves which is "they are an invasive species!" but so as Humans on this planet and to me nothing has changed, it is "still" an eye opener.
