Monday Nature Mystery
 

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, Ana Leilani Ka’ahanui! Please email us your snail mail address and preference for a hat or tote bag to: [email protected]

Unlike many species of birds in North America, waterfowl (including Gadwall) numbers have increased due to successful partnerships between conservationists, the Duck Stamp program and hunters! To learn more about this elegant duck, visit our good friends as the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. Here is this week’s mystery:
