#WaterbirdWednesday Puffins are pelagic seabirds, meaning they feed primarily by diving in the water to catch fish and other marine prey. They are also iconic and striking😍
Perfect puffin #puffins
The Ibisbill, known as the "wonder bird of the Himalayas," is rare and elusive. These ground-nesting birds live on small islands in headwater streams, where boulders and pebbles interrupt the waterway. #WaterbirdWednesday

White-cheeked Pintail, also known as the Bahama Pintail, is easily recognized by its striking appearance, featuring white cheeks, a red spot at the base of its gray-blue bill, and beautifully patterned brown and cream feathers.
Occasionally, when food is abundant, you might see these striking dabblers large groups of 1,000 individuals or more!

The White-bellied Heron is one of the largest herons, standing nearly five feet tall and boasting a truly impressive wingspan. The critically endangered bird – one of the rarest species in the world – can be found in remote wetlands of tropical and subtropical forests of the eastern Himalayas.
Behold the Black-necked Stilt!
These stately shorebirds are very territorial. When threatened in groups, they are known to exhibit a “popcorn display,” gathering around a predator and hopping or flapping their wings to scare it away. #WaterbirdWednesday

Meet the Little Penguin!
Also known as the Fairy Penguin, these are the smallest of all penguin species, standing just over a foot tall. Found primarily along coasts of Australia and New Zealand, these birds sport a distinctive gray-blue color on their back. #WaterbirdWednesday
👉Show some love to the Shoebill on this #WaterbirdWednesday❣️
These birds are often compared to dinosaurs thanks to their large size and hooked, clog-shaped beaks. However, Shoebills share more than just looks with their prehistoric dopplegӓngers. They’re also almost as ancient, scientists believe they've been around for at least 30 million years.
There’s no looking back, my double-crested #cormorant friend. You’re today’s feature for #WaterbirdWednesday in the #NJ #Pinelands. This species sports a wingspan of up to four feet and has stunning, aquamarine eyes.

There are five species of loons in the world, so how does Arctic Loon compare to the others? According to the @CornellBirds, this species is also known as the Black-throated Loon. It is smaller and sleeker than the Common Loon, and they are larger and darker than Red-throated Loon.
@IntBirdRescue If I can't come back in my next life as a kitty or a puffin, make me a pelican. Thanks. 🧡

If you thought swans and albatrosses were big, the size of a Dalmatian Pelican is jaw-dropping!
Weighing at 30 pounds, their wingspan can reach lengths of 11.5 feet. They are considered the largest freshwater bird species on the planet.

Great Crested Grebe is largest of their species: During breeding season, these birds look like royalty 👑 Dark cap extends to crown-like spikes on top of head, perfectly matching fancy collar, orange black-ended ruff surrounding neck.

Unlike their auk relatives, the Black Guillemot lays two eggs instead of one. At four to eight weeks old, chicks will leave the nest and head for the ocean before even learning how to fly.

Skimming rocks is nothing in comparison to the Black Skimmer’s beak. Their beak’s unique knife-like shape & protruding lower mandible is perfect tool: They place lower mandible on surface & skim the water until they find a bite. #WaterbirdWednesday

The Boat-billed Heron! This bird’s large bill is also an excellent detector of prey. While hunting, the heron will put their bill in the water to sense out any movements by small fish, shrimp, or frogs.
Mute Swans are fascinating and beautiful to encounter, but they will reveal another side of themselves if one gets too close. On the water, when unwelcome guests arrive, the swan will hold their wings half-raised as a defensive display to scare them off. #WaterbirdWednesday
Ever seen a Smew?
Smews are diving ducks that are approximately the same size as teals. The unmistakable adult males, nicknamed “white nuns,” are primarily white with a black back: #WaterbirdWednesday
How do Wood Stork chicks stay cool? Their parents regurgitate water onto their chicks, which in turn provides immediate cool down from the heat.

The Northern Gannet is quite the looker! They have similar features to the Masked Booby and are roughly the same size as the Laysan Albatross. #WaterbirdWednesday
