A scene of tranquility as this gull rests on the calm water of the lake on a sunny day in July.

This baby gull was really enjoying a quiet five minutes on a warm sunny day in July. I wonder what he was thinking about.

Pond at Sapsucker Woods
This photo was taken at the main pond of Sapsucker Woods, home of Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. On this day in autumn, the main pond featured Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks and brilliant fall foliage in colors of gold, red, yellow, orange and green. The luminous air created an ethereal quality. The water reflections further enhanced the magical feeling of the day.

The mallard is a large and heavy looking duck. It has a long body and a long and broad bill. The male has a dark green head, a yellow bill, is mainly purple-brown on the breast and grey on the body. The female is mainly brown with an orange bill. It breeds in all parts of the UK in summer and winter, wherever there are suitable wetland habitats, although it is scarcer in upland areas. Mallards in the UK may be resident breeders or migrants - many of the birds that breed in Iceland and northern Europe spend the winter here.
