Denver’s Exotic Duck Family: A Rare Sight 🦆✨

During a recent walk through Denver's urban parks, I stumbled upon a truly extraordinary sight—a family of exotic ducks with their adorable ducklings. These unique ducks, possibly Hooded Mergansers, were navigating the waterways, showcasing their beautiful crests and playful nature. 🌿

Urban parks often hide incredible wildlife treasures, and this encounter was a perfect reminder of the biodiversity thriving in our cities. Watching the ducklings dive and explore their surroundings was a delightful experience, highlighting the importance of preserving these urban habitats. 🌸

Why Urban Biodiversity Matters: Maintaining diverse ecosystems within urban areas is crucial for ecological balance. It provides habitat for various species and enriches our city life. 🌳

Getting Involved: Join local bird-watching groups, support urban conservation projects, and share your own sightings to raise awareness. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍

Fly Agaric

The fly agaric, also known by its scientific name Amanita muscaria, is a basidiomycete of the genus Amanita. Native throughout the regions of the Northern Hemisphere, the fly agaric has been unintentionally introduced to many regions in the Southern Hemisphere, mainly as a symbiont with birch and pine plantations, and is now a cosmopolitan species. It is now linked with numerous coniferous and deciduous trees. The name of the fly agaric is thought to derive from its use as an insecticide when it is sprinkled in milk.

The fly agaric is a white-spotted, large white-gilled, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable and widely seen in popular culture. Amanita muscaria is a fungus with several known subspecies. These subspecies are somewhat different, some having white or yellow caps.

Although fly agarics are poisonous and should not be eaten, reports of deaths are rare. Despite this, ingestion often causes stomach cramps and hallucinations. Occasionally it has been eaten in error, because immature button forms resemble puffballs. Heavy rain sometimes wash away the white spots and the mushrooms then may appear to be the edible A. caesarea. Regardless of it being toxic to us, there are some animals that can eat fly agaric. These include slugs and red squirrels, as well as fungus gnats. Fungus gnats lay eggs on the fungus, and when they hatch the larvae feed on the fruiting body.

Idk how I was able to write about ANOTHER mushroom right after writing about the Chicken in the Woods, but here I am lol

Behaving By Name. This is a speckled wood butterfly looking speckled on some wood, or a tree trunk to be precise 😄 I often come across them in woodlands around berry bushes or nettles, so it was really nice to see one on the trunk of a tree. There was an issue with low-level light initially, but after a moment of waiting for some clouds to pass, the emergence of the sun soon fixed that 😊👍 . . . . . . . #speckledwood #speckledwoodbutterfly #butterfly #butterflyphotography #butterflylove #butterflies #butterflyart #butterflyeffect #butterflyworld #butterfliesofinstagram #nature #naturelovers #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeonearth #wildlife_seekers #animalelite #bbcearth #bbccountryfile #bbcwildlifemagazine #sunshine #sunlight #sigma #wildlifetrust #photography #art #photographer #canonphotography #felixstowe #suffolk (at Felixstowe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosTx4IMKgK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dragon At Rest. This beautiful dragonfly captured my attention as it perched on the end of a long leaf. Constantly taking off to feed in the warm summer air, it was a pleasure to finally see it peaceful for a moment. I decided on a dark edit for this one because it just looked so much better with all those dusky tones 😊 . . . . . . . #dragonfly #dragonflyphotography #dragonflies #britishwildlife #dragonflyart #gameoftones #suffolkwildlife #bokeh_kings #insectlovers #darktones #nature #naturelovers #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeonearth #wildlife_seekers #animalelite #bbcearth #bbccountryfile #bbcwildlifemagazine #dusk #river #insectgram #wildlifetrust #photography #art #photographer #canonphotography #felixstowe #suffolk (at Felixstowe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnu1kgbMEyF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
