This photograph of a Crested Duck (Southern) was taken as we hiked along the shore of George Island on the morning of January 5, 2007. This island is situated at the southern entrance to Falkland Sound and, along with nearby Barren Island, forms the southernmost working farm on the Falkland Islands. George Island is free of introduced rodents and provides visitors with a good range of wildlife. The southern form of the Crested Duck is smaller than the northern form and has redder eyes. Temperatures on this partly cloudy, very windy day were in the low 50's.
