Ruddy Duck
Small duck, big tail attitude
Small duck, big tail attitude
The tree-nesting duck with a leap
The whistling "tree duck" with style
Pointed tail, planet-spanning migrant
Nature's living rainbow in the thickets
Hear "che-bek," find the flycatcher.
The moa-hunter of ancient New Zealand
The Spectacled Singer of the Thickets
Masked jewel of the forest floor
Masked singer of the marsh edge
Hooded shadow of the thickets
Snouts that drill, larvae that dine
Lacy wings, leafy feasts.
Golden ears, black neck, master diver
White face, yellow bill-lake sprinter
Northern Australia's warning-coloured hopper
Golden horns, master of the dive
Four legs, endless wing stories
Big wings, brief lives, brilliant cocoons.
Thick-billed master of the marsh
Same species-different attitude.
The vanished voice of Kauai
Largest skies, long-necked hunter
Bird-hand ruler of Cretaceous skies
