And a goldeneye
I think Waldo is in there too!
Really? Where?
Oh, now I see them. I totally missed them! ![]()
Female bufflehead below it ![]()
I was driving along slowly on a gravel/dirt road in Kruger National Park and stopped to take an observation photo of these guineafowl. I didn’t even see the other critter until I got back home and went through the photos! ![]()
I can’t find the Goldeneye nor the Bufflehead. Are they really in there?
But I think there are in fact three pintails (two males and one female), not two.
I will keep trying.
At the top left there is a ‘‘female Mallard’’ (above two males) that looks more like a female Pintail to me. Take a look.
I think it was a female wood duck, oh wait, I think I am talking about something else. It’s hard to tell because of the bad quality, but maybe. It does look a bit different than a mallard.
I did a bit of research and it looks like you’re right. Good find!
So 3 or 4 wood ducks, 3 pintails, a Goldeneye and a Bufflehead. And the mallards, of course.
Yep pretty much
I just “found” a tiny spider hiding out in one of my pictures. The object of the observation was the fungus that causes the leaf spots, I honestly had no idea the spider was there until I processed the images on the computer. Even more amazingly, apparently it’s decent enough to already have made it to a genus ID.

New species of damselfly for me, Rambur’s Forktail, showed up on the bottom edge of a couple of my photos of muskmelon.


There is somebody on the right edge of the lower leaf, too ![]()
Don’t think anyone can ID that midge from these photos though
When editing photos of Laxmann’s Milkvetch from earlier in the year, I noticed this little red mite on one of the blossoms.
So, it got its own observation. I don’t expect it to get a finer ID, but it’s something else to keep an eye out for when on Mount Goliath.
