A Mallard Duck with a bright irridescent green and blue head and bright yellow bill, flaps its wings to dry them above the surface of the Laghi de Fusine, an alpine lake in the Julian Alps near the Italian-Slovenian border. Drops of water splash and small waves form along the surface of the water which otherwise is relatively calm.
An Emerald Toucanet, sitting on a branch, at the edge of a forest. It holds a small orange perfectly round berry in its beak. Its feathers are various shades of light and medium green, camouflaging him well among the tree's large leaves which have nearly identical green hues. It is a profile view, showing its dark blue eye, its yellow-green top mandible and dark blue lower mandible.
Two Gray Herons, wings spread widely, and one with its beak open wide to let out a loud squawk, engage in a brief territorial skirmish at the Ètang des Batayolles in the Camargue near Saint-Maries-de-la-Mer, France. The Camargue, which sits in the Rhone River Delta, is the largest wetland in Europe.
A Little Egret stands above its reflection in a shallow lagoon at the Parc Ornithologique Pont de Gau in the Camargue, an area in southern France that is part of the vast Rhone River delta.
A cinereous harrier, a South American bird of prey, sits on a branch, colored by golde late afternoon light, staring straight ahead.
