For throw back Thursday here is an image of a mute swan pair I photographed back in early March of this year. I’m a bit of a file hoarder when it comes to my images. I will usually save things that are sharp and have room for me to play with their composition thinking to myself “I will find a use for this at some point”. On days where I don’t get out and shoot or have more recent images to process I will often go back and think “How did I miss this during processing?!” Taken 3/9/21. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mute-swan-couple-henry-wagner.html
A long tailed duck drake giving me a curious glance. From all the way back in March, somehow it didn’t manage to make its way on to here so now it is. Taken 3/9/21.
An elegant beast stretches, spits and flaps as the sun rises and the water glints, somewhere in the Midwest.

A Big Splash
I practiced a little social distancing this past Sunday when I drove to Barnegat Light State Park and walked out along the beach and the rock jetty. A merganser drake came in for a landing and made quite a splash with his debut. Sometimes the action is better than the animal itself. A northeast wind kept migrating northern gannets drifting closer to the shoreline and into view from the jetty. It was great to get a last look at some of the wintering birds before they complete the last leg of their northern journey to breed for the season. #Merganserwww.danieldauria.com (at Barnegat Light, New Jersey)

Friends and waterfowl lovers! I’ve been working hard on this project and I’m so excited to share it with you all. I’m offering high quality digital prints of these 9 lovely little duckies. Scroll to see full image and a photo of my silly face with the smallest available size (18”) framed. These would make a great gift all framed up Xmas is next month y’all), or you can get one for yourself just so you can stare at cute duckies all day. The bottom of the print tells you each species too, so you can buff up your bird knowledge ☺️
I will be offering each bird as a tattoo via lottery system here a bit later, so if you want one of these guys on your body, you will get the chance! Please do not steal and take to another artist, I worked very hard on these
Please let me know if you have any questions! The prints are $30 for 18”, $35 for 21” and $40 for 24” and square so they’re easy to find a frame for, especially if you’re a thrift framer like me. If you don’t have paypal or have any questions you can email me at [email protected]. I love love loved drawing all these guys up, aaack duck love forever

Finally got out for the first paddle of the season! #springhassprung #canadiangeese #goslings #babybirds #babyanimals #southsaskatchewanriver #saskatoon #canada #wildlife #cute #waterfowl #followtheleader (at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan)
The three ducks are excited to be back together again now that the fair is over. Momo, the drake, insists that at least once a day they make their rounds and inspect the farm. They slowly waddle through the taller grass and over or around any obstacles and usually in single file line. Here they are checking in on the laying hens before heading back to their shady spot under the trampoline.

I need to come up with a more original combination for my photography. Another swan, another sunset…

“Hi, I’m Dr. Blank. It’s nice to -“
“Doc, before we go further I need to make sure you know about ducks. What breed is he?”
“He looks like a Pekin to me.”
“No. He’s a Cayuga. Your receptionist said you know about ducks.”
“I see lots of ducks and am knowledgeable about them. Cayugas are black with an iridescent green sheen. Quackery is white and-“
“Wrong. Cayuga’s can be white. I’ll give you another chance. What’s wrong with him?”
“Cayugas can turn grayish as they age but Quackery is only 1. His breed doesn’t matter too much right now. Let’s do an exam and see what we find. So, based on him being kept on concrete and the way this swelling looks he probably has pododermatitis or bumble foot. First thing we need to do is change his environment or this won’t ever get better.”
“I’ve kept ducks all my life and I’ve never had this problem. As long as they have some water they don’t get bumble foot. I think this is cancer. I’ll just go back to Tractor Supply where they know ducks. I’ve got a guy there that used to be a vet tech.”
