hello everyone,

here's an interesting story about a man who has spent years trying to find
the extinct (?) pink-headed duck. lots of pretty pictures. no live ducks,
though!

?I inherited my grandfather?s instincts as an explorer,? he says. ?I think
a lot of it was ? I wasn?t doing very much. I didn?t really feel fulfilled.
The pink-headed duck is like some sort of mythical thing. It is so iconic
and beautiful.? The idea of finding something missing for so many years
gave him a mission.
