This male mallard duck, otherwise known as a drake, wasn't coming in for a landing. He had been having an intense preening and bathing session and it was time for him to dry off his wings and reset his feathers. He was among hundreds of ducks along the Ottawa River in the mud Lake Conservation Area that were floating along, riding the waves or just taking a nap. It's a popular spot to see large flocks of ducks, geese and other waterfowl throughout the year, which makes sense since mallards are the most common type of waterfowl found in Ottawa.
Coming In For a Landing
If you sit along the banks of the Ottawa River in the Mud Lake Conservation Area, you'll see mallards upon mallards nearly piling up along the shores. But before they do, they must nail a landing. Sometimes it's smooth and other times not so much. This female mallard, however, accomplished a graceful landing -- even taking a moment to flash the camera with a confident stare. Mallards are the most common waterfowl in Ottawa, Ontario. It's tough to confirm exactly how many mallards call Ottawa home because of their migratory nature, but a the most recent Ottawa-Gatineau Christmas Bird Count done in 2025 survey recorded 2,214 individual Mallards in a single day, performing slightly above the local 10-year average.

Might I recommend a notifier ro the member when someone has posted on their photo? Sometimes folks, or myself, have posted on an older photo and the member would have no clue if not for going back through their individual images which is too time-consuming. --- Timestamp: 2026-11-09T19:06:55.547Z Page: https://photoclub.canadiangeographic.ca/feedback User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/157.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Red-sided Garter snake
Taken in early June 2023 at kettles Lake Provincial Park. This was the first time that I had ever seen this species and was amazed at the reddish tint to the scales.
Loon
Canoeing in early June 2023 on Irrigation Lake in Kettles Lake Provincial Park we were treated to a loon that decided to check us out.

Spring vocals lead to this Cat bird. A really large repertoire of vocalizations and a pleasure to listen too.
Into the Wild
While famous for their salmon hunting, coastal grizzlies spend much of the spring and early summer grazing on tidal grasses. Captured here in BC's Khutzeymateen Sanctuary—home to one of the highest concentrations of grizzly bears in North America.
