Friday's Foto

Nicknamed "the greyhound of the air", the elegant Northern Pintail has experienced severe population declines in the last 50 years due to loss of grassland habitat and drought. I found this individual feeding with several Green-winged Teal and Mallards in the tiny Return-a-Gift Pond at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation lists the pintail as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need.
