And, in a nice irony, an example par excellence of the law of unintended consequences: the Redhead, a diving duck, has an aversion to wind turbines, and will change its feeding areas to avoid them. “Scientists fear that this may cause them to lose condition over winter and thus damage their breeding prospects.”

Owls and eagles and ducks and hummingbirds and parrots and woodpeckers are all things that a regular nonbirding joe or jane can, with time and a few color photographs, see the appeal of. Small and white and rounded and basicly cute, could it not be the Turtle Dove to the rest of the Laridae ‘s Rock Pigeons ?

I had spent the morning on Navarre Beach, walking the pier looking for sea turtles and dolphins, then making my way down the beach. I am an odd duck sometimes, and I have strict rules for my own personal birding. Sometimes great birding days are not about all the birds you see. Some are great because of just one.

Water quality was good that day, and we could perfectly see the waving eelgrass, the freshwater fish species, the adorable turtles. An Anhinga busily sought prey, periodically ducking down into the grasses and completely disappearing from view. Of course, Anhingas have caught on to their hiding techniques.

The first few years for female ducks and geese are kind of practice rounds. Sometimes females have eggs to lay but no nest and the eggs can end up anywhere from other duck and goose nests…there was even a case in Minnesota where a Canada Goose laid an egg in an Osprey nest and the raptors incubated and hatched it !

In mid-eclipse, ducks posed quite a challenge. Near Kerkini village, I find a mixed flock of Collared and Turtle Doves on the wires. While belonging to the same genus, the Collared Doves live next to people, while Turtle Doves tend to choose more open space in between and I cannot recall ever observing a mixed flock in Serbia.

Three European Turtle Doves wave their goodbyes from a roadside wire and, a bit further along the road, one Short-toed Snake Eagle is devouring a snake in mid-air. Circaetus gallicus.
