Massive Flock of Northern Pintail Ducks Takes Flight from Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge - stock photo
A massive flock of Northern Pintail ducks (Anas acuta) erupts from the water in a synchronized takeoff at Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina. The frame is filled with ducks in motion, capturing the density and dynamism of a large waterfowl aggregation during migration. Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in North Carolina, serves as a vital stopover habitat for thousands of migratory ducks each winter. The refuge plays a critical role in the Atlantic Flyway, supporting populations that have declined in some parts of their range due to wetland loss and climate-related pressures.
