Wild birds other than the usual sparrows, starlings, and pigeons find better places to be far from the tourist traps of this well-traveled city. The Magic Kingdom featured Donald, Daisy, and a few Mallards … we all know how much Disney likes ducks! In this, I was absolutely wrong. Orlando, Florida is an ecological blight.

In my homeland, some 800 km / 500 mi further north, these ducks are common on migration but very rare in the breeding season and I realized that these are my first young birds – ever. A few Lesser Kestrels by the dyke wall, then a Black-eared Wheatear at some cattle fencing. Ferruginous Duck – Aythya nyroca 2.

Fishing with explosives has been explicitly forbidden as a helpful sign informed. There was a large raft of hundreds of American Coot , an American White Pelican and lots of duck species. I will not name all ducks, but Bufflehead and Canvasback were lifers so they deserve a call-out. First stop: the Presa El Águila. We stopped.
