The genus Bucephala includes three familiar ducks with big heads. The naming of the hornbill family is a bit farther fetched. Wikimedia Commons Bucerotidae is etymologically opaque to most birders, I’d venture, but when Rafinesque described the family almost two centuries ago, he had kine on his mind. Thanks for visiting!

Other birds with webbed feet, including ducks and geese, have only three webbed toes; the hallux (which in birds is usually the “hind toe&# and in humans, the “big toe&# ) is free. But meanwhile, let’s look at the four avian families that comprise the brand new order Suliformes.

He was adopted by the Masson family and was apparently the most loving dog all who met him had ever had the pleasure of being licked by. Yes, I wanted to also say to him "Yeah dogs are great, but you didn't see my multi-year relationship with Mr. Magoo, a Muscovy duck who was blind in one eye." But he then addresses that.

It is a well-named duck, as the male does have a red head. Of course, other ducks have red heads too but for whatever reason Aythya americana got the name and now has to live up to it with unlimited sex appeal. Save that for the duck butts.
