A Madagascan Pochard is seen on Lake Sofia in northern Madagascar.   The species was thought to be extinct in the wild for 20 years but unexpectedly showed up in December of last year, when 21 ducklings were introduced to the lake and kept in floating aviaries.  The population is now thought to number 90 individuals.
