Sadly, the numbers of Falcated Duck are similarly declining – it is thus listed as Near Threatened. This is partly due to hunting in China, where about 90% of the species winter (HBW). And it does not even live in reeds. A Yellow-throated Bunting enjoying a sunny morning in the reedbeds of Nanhui.

COVID-19 was the worst of it but we also endured horrific wildfires, tremendously damaging hurricanes, another year of the worst President of the United States in history, and the list could go on ad infinitum.
