EDITORS COMMENTS
Quack-tastic Adventures in the Outback: A Pink-eared Duck's Oasis Retreat!". In this vibrant snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast Don Hadden, we are transported to the mesmerizing oasis of Lajamanu, an aboriginal settlement on the edge of Australia's Tanami Desert. Our feathered friend, DH-3246 (aka Mr. Pink-Eared), steals the show as he gracefully glides through a drying pool. With its striking pink ears and captivating presence, this australasian beauty is living proof that ducks can be both stylish and adventurous! Found throughout most of Australia where there is suitable water, our dapper duck knows how to make a splash wherever he goes. As we delve into his story further, we discover that Mr. Pink-Eared is no ordinary bird. He embraces the wet season with gusto, dispersing widely across northern Australia in search of new watering holes and potential mates. Talk about being well-traveled! But what truly sets him apart from other ducks is his unconventional breeding habits. Unlike most birds who adhere to strict seasonal schedules for nesting and hatching eggs, flooding triggers Mr. Pink-Eared's romantic instincts at any time of year! Who says love can't bloom under unexpected circumstances? So let us raise our binoculars high in salute to this incredible avian adventurer! May his vibrant plumage continue to brighten up our lives as we admire his audacious spirit amidst the breathtaking landscapes of outback Australia.
