Different Types of Ducks

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

Therefore there was a recorded 8 birds, 1 dove, 5 magpie goose and 2 pacific black duck, 3 weeks after the floods. By 2017 the total of 8 birds, 3 species have now increased to a total of 25 birds, 6 species in 4 years. Though this being said many of the birds are ‘new’ to the area such as the 15 Cotton pygmy Geese and 4 recorded Dusky Moorhen. 6 bird species were seen/recorded in 2017, these being the 2 Black cormorant, 1 pacific black duck, Cotton pygmy, Dusky moorhen, little egret and willie wagtail. Other bird species such as the magpie goose which had a number of 41 recorded in 2009, 5 in 2013 and now 0. This indicates that the diversity of birds and population has decreased as a result of their habitat loss and or an a adequate supply of food.

There are three main species of Snow Goose of primary concern. The Lesser Snow Goose (LSGO) is the must abundant and at the same time most troublesome. Ross' Goose (ROGO) is very similar to the Lesser

Pete the Cat leads five ducks outside to play. One by one they disappear while doing different activities throughout the area. Finally, on a rainy day, Pete the cat lost all his friends and had nobody to play with until he came across the five little ducks who surprised Pete with something they all could enjoy.

ponderous and dangerous they can be. Fowl and reptiles are plenty. Birds with sharp beaks and

The Ducks In the Central Park Lagoon are impactful to the book because they represent the exact opposite characteristic than that of the main character Holden. The ducks represent beneficial decisions at times of adversity, while Holden struggles to guide himself in the right direction at these times. Holden is very hung up on where the ducks in the pond go in the winter when the pond is frozen and no longer suitable for them to live in. Holden will often bring it up during conversation, as he did with a cab driver, he asked “well, you know the ducks that swim around in it? In the springtime and all? Do you happen to know where in the

The Hawaiian Duck is blessed with one of the best habitats in the world. It resides in the beautiful islands and the epitome of all beautiful islands known as Hawaii. They are mostly found in lowland wetlands, river valleys, and mountain streams. This works to this bird’s advantages. They mostly try to stay away from the more urban parts of Hawaii and stick to their usual wetland setting. However, there not much of these habitats around on the virtually miniature island of Hawaii, which makes this bird’s effort of trying to stick around, just that much harder. Its endangerment has a large part to do with the fact that you cannot find all of these elements in many places on the island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian duck’s habitat is a huge part of what this bird is and how it functions through its

The ducks are first brought to the reader’s attention while Holden is visiting his teacher, Mr. Spencer, regarding his removal from Pencey. While conversing with Mr. Spencer, however, Holden’s mind drifts elsewhere. His mind drifts back to New York as he wonders to himself if the lagoon in Central Park is frozen over, and if so, where do the ducks go? A direct parallel can be drawn from the ducks in the lagoon to Holden’s present situation. He is mandated to leave Pencey, but has no idea where he belongs after leaving. Just like the ducks in the lagoon, “Holden is essentially homeless, frozen out” (Trowbridge par. 1). Holden’s life has not been filled with an abundance of stability and now what little he had is gone, albeit due to faults of his own, and he sees an unsure and hazy future. Holden inquires about the state of the ducks to the driver of the first cab he catches in New York, and the driver believes that he is kidding. Later on, he asks another cab driver if somebody came around “in a truck or something to take them away” or if they flew away “by themselves” (Salinger 81-82). Knowing what happens to these ducks, knowing that they are safe and secure even though the lagoon is frozen would provide Holden with a sense of comfort about his current state of affairs. What seems to be a ridiculous and meaningless question to the

Where do the ducks go during the Winter when the water is frozen? In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, the character, Holden Caulfield, has an underlying mental condition. He failed out of four schools; he saw his friend commit suicide; and his younger brother died of cancer. These life-changing experiences paved the way for Holden’s insecure and unstable life. By his narration, Holden hints at his disorder throughout the book without fully explaining his condition. Holden’s many insecurities, his teetering on the edge of childhood and adulthood, and his irrational ideas help the reader realize that Holden has a mental problem.

There are thousands of duck lodges located all across North America. Duck hunting has increased in popularity over the past 15 years mostly due in part to the popularity of it on T.V. With that being said this has caused a large increase in the number of lodges being created, to be able to keep up with the demand. Jobs in this field are found all over North America, they range from Alaska all the way through Canada, and as well as all over through South America. Jobs relating to this career are mostly found around high trafficked areas of migrating waterfowl, places like Stuttgart, Arkansas (known as the rice and duck capital of the world), Salt Lake City, Utah, around many small towns in North Dakota, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

The adult Great Blue Heron is a blue-gray color. They have a black stripe above their yellow eyes. The stripe extends to the back of the neck turning into a plume of feathers like a ponytail. They have gray, shaggy neck feathers with streaks of white, black, and rust-brown. They

The ducks represent Holden himself in the beginning of the story, because he’s moving around; they highlight his curiosity (and the overall curiosity of youth), and show transition (he’s in a transition between school and

The ducks are first mentioned when Holden is at Mr. Spencer’s house. When Mr. Spencer is asking Holden about his failure and his future, Holden’s mind goes on a digression about the ducks. Holden is subconsciously thinking about, and worrying about his future. He does not understand how the ducks can change so easily and adapt to a changed environment. The lagoon freezing over represents Holden’s life, which is similar to a half frozen lake. He is stuck in the phase between childhood and adulthood. To Holden, the ducks mean flying away, and changing his life completely. He does not like change at all, and is fascinated by how the ducks can so easily adapt to a changing environment.

Its name means swift or speedy thief they actually have feathers you might think of it as a giant chicken, but it's only about knee high to an adult human it's only three feet tall and six feet long. some scientist believe that birds are dinosaurs they both have wishbones and relative bones and have hollow bones, and they're both covered in feathers, the dinosaurs couldn't fly because they weighed too much.
