Couple ring-necked ducks with their redhead friend. . It's common for ring-necked ducks to associate with other species, because, as I've mentioned before, all ducks are communist. . They may want to watch out for the redhead, though. While they spend a nice spring day swimming with him, his mate might be stealing their nest. Redheads are considered parasitic in the duck world. Instead if making their own nest, they often just take someone else's. . Yes, ducks are communist. But imagine if you took the time and effort to build a cabin and some jerk moved in and said, "this is communism, there is no property." and left you without any shelter as winter approached. Cooperation and mutual aid have to struggle with few parasitic individuals, but communism mostly fails because it does not abolish the underlying issue that undermines all individual cooperation, ethics, and morality; the most parasitic entity; the state. . I guess in their love of peace and unwillingness to implement state violence, which would mean giving up all they cherish, ducks accept that there will always be a few parasitic individuals who won't build their own nests. They don't even seem to resent them, but understand it as a fact of life and even maintain their friendships and cooperation with the redheads. . I wish I could be so noble and well-adjusted as a duck. . . . #redhead #redheadduck #ringneckedduck #ducks #duck #birds #ducksarecommunist #duckphilosophy #ducktheory #ducksinarow #ducktales #bird #birdwatchingphotography #birdwatchers (at Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGb6TYg-6J/?utm_medium=tumblr

A pair of ring-necked ducks, I think. . I don't know a ton about ducks or identifying them, but I've been having a lot of fun (and exhaustion, pain, too hot, too cold, getting stuck in smelly muck) exploring wetlands with the waders. It's a totally different experience getting in the water and being close to eye-level with the birds. . It seems like aquatic mammals want nothing to do with such tomfoolery, but the ducks really don't seem to notice or mind my presence and it's so gratifying to watch wildlife undisturbed and not just staring at me for a second before running off. . I used to often risk scaring off a critter to get a good photo, but lately, sometimes I prefer to just wait and see if they'll come near me. Sometimes I miss a shot, but I think the ones I do get feel more special. Like if the animal comes and goes without me having disrupted their routine. So for example, on this day, I saw a pair of geese and their goslings swim past, but I didn't get a picture. I just enjoyed watching them swim past. That's something I really admire about @mortenhilmer 's work and have been trying to learn from him. . Well, anyway, I got my second dose of COVID vaccine yesterday and signed a contract for a new consulting job. It's supposed to be 40 hrs per week, so I'm not sure yet how that'll impact photography. If I can, I'll probably try to arrange things so that I can still get out most days and maybe block off bigger chunks of time for long hides, too. However, the income will be nice and might open up some new opportunities, too, and probably a new location. . I'm looking now for a new place to rent. Maybe back in Washington. I'm always open to input on where I move and especially leads on cool cabins to rent. . . . #duck #ducks #ringneckedduck #birds #birdphotos #birdphoto #birdphotography #birdpics #montanawildlife #ducksofinstagram #ducklove #duckphotography (at Bull Lake, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/COnw5RkgDA9/?igshid=1xyn9hv6vgox4
