Picture of the Day: First Flight
FIRST FLIGHT
In this momentous occasion, we see two baby common goldeneye ducks leaving the nest and taking to the air for their first ever flight. The expressions on their face are priceless! What an amazing event to witness ๐
The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is a medium-sized sea duck. Adult males ranges from 45โ52 cm (18โ21 inches) and from 888 to 1400 grams (1.9 to 3.1 lbs), while females range from 40โ50 cm (16โ20 inches) and from 500 to 1182 grams (1.1 to 2.6 lbs). The species is aptly named for its golden-yellow eye. [Source]
