Norway, Spitsbergen, Mother And Chick Eider Ducks, 2007 - In the month of July on the island of Spitsbergen, the sun never sets. It rolls around the sky in a circular 360 degree fashion. Since there is no night, our habits change. I was on the way to my tent when I stopped to take photos of animals at 4 a.m. I was so impressed, I went back and fetched my 500 mm lens. I sat and delighted taking photographs of the ducks and the terns. I never knew ducks could be so flexible with their wings. But the Eider Ducks taught me differently, as is evidenced in this photograph. (Ref: Birds.)
