  • In the uncharted depths of the Azure Trench, there roamed a creature of myth and marvel, the Mandala Orca. Unlike its kin, this orca's skin was a canvas of cosmic patterns, each a fractal representation of the ocean's boundless mysteries. The elders spoke of it as the keeper of the ocean's soul, its movement a dance that balanced the tides.<br />
<br />
Its form was both of the sea and the stars, the swirling patterns across its body glowed with an ethereal light, illuminating the darkest of waters.

  • A Black-crowned Night Heron in Green Waters. The Black-crowned Night Heron, commonly abbreviated to just Night Heron in Eurasia, is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world, except in the coldest regions and Australasia. Black-crowned Night-Herons are stocky birds compared to many of their long-limbed heron relatives. They're most active at night or at dusk, when you may see their ghostly forms flapping out from daytime roosts to forage in wetlands. In the light of day adults are striking in gray-and-black plumage and long white head plumes. These social birds breed in colonies of stick nests usually built over water. They live in fresh, salt, and brackish wetlands and are the most widespread heron in the world. <br />
<br />
Black-crowned Night-Herons often spend their days perched on tree limbs or concealed among foliage and branches. They forage in the evening and at night, in water, on mudflats, and on land. In flight they fold their head back against their shoulders, almost making the neck disappear.<br />
<br />
These are social birds that tend to roost and nest in groups, although they typically forage on their own. Look for them in most wetland habitats across North America, including estuaries, marshes, streams, lakes, and reservoirs.

  • Two pink flamingos highlighted in blue and purple fantasy lighting, taken at the Saint Louis Zoo.<br />
<br />
Flamingos often stand on one leg, the other leg tucked beneath the body. The reason for this behavior is not fully understood. Recent research indicates that standing on one leg may allow the birds to conserve more body heat, given that they spend a significant amount of time wading in cold water. However, the behavior also takes place in warm water. As well as standing in the water, flamingos may stamp their webbed feet in the mud to stir up food from the bottom.<br />
Young flamingos hatch with grayish reddish plumage, but adults range from light pink to bright red due to aqueous bacteria and beta-Carotene obtained from their food supply. A well-fed, healthy flamingo is more vibrantly colored and thus a more desirable mate; a white or pale flamingo, however, is usually unhealthy or malnourished. Captive flamingos are a notable exception; many turn a pale pink as they are not fed carotene at levels comparable to the wild

  • A Wood Duck Hen Preens Along The Shore of the Lake.<br />
<br />
Wood ducks pair up in late winter and they begin breeding in early spring. The males attract females with their call and attractive, colorful breeding plumage. <br />
<br />
Female wood ducks have grayish-brown bodies. The back is dark gray-brown and the sides are a lighter shade. The most noticeable characteristics of the females are found on the head. The head is gray with a white eye-ring around each eye. The head also has a crest of feathers at the back and white feathers on the throat and chin. <br />
<br />
Wood ducks will 'tip up' and dip their heads under the water to find the standard wetland fare to eat like wild rice, smartweed, pondweed, bulrush, and lotus seeds, but they love to eat "out," of the water that is. They love fruits and nuts found in the woods like beechnuts, wild acorns grapes, and one of their favorites, acorns.

  • This digital artwork is a stunning visual metaphor, masterfully merging the ferocity of the ocean with the primal essence of a shark. The central figure of the composition is a colossal wave, captured at the moment of its most powerful surge, its curves and contours eerily embodying the fierce visage of a shark. The wave-shark’s open mouth, filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, seems to roar at the sky, adding a visceral sense of danger to the scene.<br />
<br />
The color palette is a dynamic interplay of contrasts, with the deep blues and whites of the wave reflecting the colors typically associated with a shark's natural habitat. The foamy crest of the wave and the shark's gills are rendered with hyperrealistic detail, giving the illusion of movement and life. The ocean around the wave-shark is turbulent, with other waves rising and falling in a rhythm that suggests the relentless power of the sea.<br />
<br />
In the background, a dramatic sunset paints the sky with fiery oranges and reds, casting a warm glow that contrasts with the cool tones of the water. Dark, brooding clouds loom above, hinting at a brewing storm, further intensifying the artwork's dramatic impact.

  • A male Wood Duck rocks in the water mimicking a rocking horse, putting on a vibrant show.<br />
<br />
Wood Ducks forage in the water by taking food from the surface and up-ending to reach food underneath. They also graze on land. Pairs form on the wintering grounds, and males attract females by showing off their brightly colored plumage. Females demonstrate strong fidelity to the sites where they hatched (philopatry), and they lead their mates back to those sites in the spring.<br />
<br />
Male Wood Ducks are flamboyant in breeding plumage, practically unmistakable with their brightly colored chestnut and yellow bodies, green droop-crested heads, bright red bills, and bold white barring on their faces and bodies. Females are drabber, with subtle iridescence on overall grayish-brown bodies, spotted flanks, and a white teardrop surrounding each eye. Juveniles appear similar to females, as do non-breeding males in eclipse plumage (from June to September), although they have the red bill and white facial markings.

<br />
The wood duck is one of the most beautiful of the North American ducks. In the early 1900s, the species was considered in danger of extinction throughout its range due to market shooting, habitat loss, and hunting seasons that extended into the breeding season. <br />
<br />
With the implementation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918 between the United States and Canada, market shooting was outlawed and judicious hunting season lengths and bag limits were instituted. These changes, together with the construction and placement of nest boxes during the last seven decades, have resulted in a dramatic comeback of wood duck populations.<br />
<br />
Wood ducks are among the most productive egg layers of all the duck species. This evolutionary adaptation occurs because wood ducks experience very high duckling mortality rates. If the first nest fails, the female will attempt up to 2 re-nests to raise a brood.
