Item Details
Description
Ivan Kozlov (Russian, B. 1937) "Garganey" Signed and dated ('92) lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Paper.

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This painting is the original which was published on a First Day Cover for a Russia Duck stamp issued July 1, 1992.

The Garganey is indigenous to northern Eurasia but may extend its range as far west as Germany. Closely related to the Blue-winged Teal and roughly its same size, this duck is commonly found in still or slow-running waters which are surrounded by lush vegetation. While not as spectacularly colored as some other species of duck, both sexes of Garganey still present attractive pictures. The drake's unique plumage includes a purple-brown head with distinctive white "eyebrows," a black breast and speckled, brown-to-buff lower back and tail. The hen resembles female North American teals, but it too has distinguishing eye marks -- contrasting light and dark patterns which surround the eye and extend to the back of the head. A lighter spot at the base of the bill accentuates both cheeks. The female's loud quack is teal-like, but the male's voice is confined to low, single-noted cackles. The Garganey's breeding ground stretches from Iceland to norther Asia. North Central Africa is its wintering site. During spring and fall migrations, the waterbird can be found on the western Aleutian Islands, and only casually occurs on the North American continent. Its breeding season commences in early spring and from May to June, the female lays eight to 11 eggs. Incubation lasts approximately 23 days. The newly hatched young, once dry, follow their mother to water for their first swim.
