Say! What! Again!

This #Mallard is delighted that @robcrank68.bsky.social‬ has chosen #Ducks as the #BirdOfTheDay
#Birds 🪶 #Birdsky #Nature #Wildlife #Birding #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography

A male Mallard Duck swims on a river facing to the right. The background is dark rippled water. The bird has a chestnut brown breast, grey flanks, brown wings, black and white tail feathers, and a yellow bill. The the evening light makes the ducks head looks dark blue rather than green in colour. Its bill is open giving the impression that it is very happy - maybe even laughing!

However, there is an unacceptable cut-off point for incompetence. I refer to it as "the Jets."

Oh! I've driven through Byrd Park, but haven't really done any of the "stuff" there yet. Yeah, Ginter is a delightful place to stroll around and commune with other living thingys. I'm going to see Jeff Tweedy in concert there in like a week and a half.

Play the duck card...interesting idea.

That's beautiful. And also the most elaborate reveal party ever attempted.

I don't live AT the botanical gardens, but they're just down the road. And there is an amazing breakfast spot called the Love Shack a couple blocks away.

If I squint in just the right way, the first photo looks like a velvet painting of Admiral Akbar.

And we also discovered he dropped an upper decker in my dad’s commode tank!

I watched this little one make its last few movement before finally succumbing to the seasons. A bit emotional, I must admit. I also made a recent change to my antidepressant meds, so there’s that too.

Funny thing. I was going to post Eat Me, I'm a Danish, so I watched it on YouTube. The video that came on IMMEDIATELY AFTER that was Rock the Boat. That was pretty creepy, but I already made my Creepy post on another music challenge.

Wow, I guess Peter Gabriel sang in like EVERY band. Drink up and have some pun.

It will always be a perfect example of a song that sounds exactly like where and when it's from. It is Scotland in the '80s, oil drilling and Thatcher hating and flag waving and hope springing and all of the above. Just an all-time great tune.

I've never seen her without the old jumblies spilling all over the place.

Cornelius von DeadDuck III, Jr. @cornduck3.bsky.social · 8h

Thanks. I was gonna get membrillo in there one way or another. I knew you'd understand!

Also, somewhere in yours are The Ballard of Rainbow Raccoon and Don't Cry for Them, Argent.

14. By a band with an animal or place in their name

You may have come to the right place for this one. Get the duck on the dancefloor and then learn something at the end of the track.

Day 14, creepy

Radiohead sued her because the verse melody is, well, very Creep-y.
