Known as goosander in Europe and Asia. Photo taken in late summer on a wild and scenic stretch of the Bantam River in Washington, Connecticut, where the species nests in large tree cavities. These are siblings born the previous spring. At this age, males and females look alike.

Because of the high cost of flapping flight at sea and the high cost of thermoregulation in their cold water environment it is only logical that gannets also need to spend a lot of time to rest to regain their energy.

The mandarin duck (Aix galericulata) is a perching duck species native to the East Palearctic. It is medium-sized, at 41–49 cm (16–19 in) long with a 65–75 cm (26–30 in) wingspan. It is closely related to the North American wood duck, the only other member of the genus Aix. 'Aix' is an Ancient Greek word which was used by Aristotle to refer to an unknown diving bird, and 'galericulata' is the Latin for a wig, derived from galerum, a cap or bonnet.Outside of its native range, the mandarin duck has a large introduced population in the British Isles and Western Europe, with additional smaller introductions in North America.
