	Nettapus coromandelianus - Cotton pygmy-goose (Species)
		Cotton pygmy-geese are more winter-hardy than the other pygmy geese and have been maintained outside even with weather sufficiently cold to partially freeze their pond, although they are still considered cold-sensitive.
		Many of these species are sociable outside the breeding season, although Cairina moschata - Muscovy duck, Cairina scutulata - White-winged duck, Pteronetta hartlaubii - Hartlaub's duck and Plectropterus gambensis - Spur-winged goose can all be aggressive and require separate enclosures.
		Nettapus coromandelianus coromandelianus - Indian cotton pygmy-goose slightly smaller; Nettapus coromandelianus albipennis - Australian cotton pygmy-goose slightly larger and much less abundant.

	Cotton's Journey - The Story of Cotton - HISTORY
		Use this washable, heavyweight duck 17Hx17Wx5D tote bag with ploypropylene banding, to carry your cotton resource materials and keep your unit organized.
		Cotton was grown by American Indians in the early 1500's, documented from sightings by the Coronado expedition 1540-42. The Spaniards raised a cotton crop in Florida in 1556.
		Cotton is a plant, it grows wild in many places on the earth, but it has been known about, cultivated and put to use by people of many lands for centuries.

	BoatUS Foundation Findings Report #28: Duct Tape - Through Thick and Thin, September 1997
		Technically, duct tape is a three-part laminate, bonding under high pressure a polyethylene film, cotton cloth and natural rubber adhesive with hydrocarbon resin as a tackifier.
		Tape samples were attached between a fixed plate and a sliding clamp, and force was applied to pull the clamp away from the plate through a block and tackle.
		So the surgical tape troops turned their talent to the war effort and came up with a cloth and nitro-cellulose laminate with a natural rubber adhesive coating.

	Say it with duct tape
		"Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as 'Duck Tape'; also the tape was made using cotton duck similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes," Jim Berg and Tim Nyberg, authors of "The Duct Tape Book," report.
		Duct tape also offered diversion aboard the doomed space shuttle Columbia, as astronaut Kalpana Chawla devised a game to see who could pitch the most M&Ms through the hole in a duct-tape roll as everyone and everything spun in zero gravity.
		South Carolina hiker Judith Bradley, who keeps duct tape in her backpack for emergencies, wrapped her legs in it last month to protect against sudden cold, snakes and alligators when she became lost after dark.

	Birdfinders - Birdwatching Holidays - 2004 India - Bharatpur tour news
		Over the next few days we made repeated visits to the reserve seeing the common European duck species in vast numbers, supplemented by Ruddy Shelduck, Lesser Whistling-duck, Cotton Pygmy-goose and Comb Duck and seven Spot-billed Ducks.
		The afternoon gave us the chance for our first foray into the magical Bharatpur reserve and we were soon overwhelmed by the sheer number of wintering birds, with huge numbers of ducks in particular.
		Bar-headed and Greylag Geese made up the goose contingent whilst cormorants, herons, ibises and storks were also in profusion, with literally hundreds of Painted Storks, together with a few Woolly-necked Storks, and best of all were superb views of Black Bittern, mighty Black-necked Storks and huge Sarus Cranes.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Northeast India
		Wintering Bar-headed Geese made up the bulk of these flocks but there were also plenty of ducks, including Cotton Pygmy-geese and Ferruginous Ducks, however we did not find our “target duck”, Falcated Duck.
		However, the undoubted highlight of the day was a superb White-winged Duck at the pool in Ranijheel, perhaps Northeastern India’s highest ornithological prize.
		The weather and bird gods definitely did not smile for the rest of the day and in the late afternoon a pall of thick, impenetrable clouds came in and then consistent heavy rain sabotaged further birding, driving us back to the Wild Grass Lodge and a little disheartened we left Kaziranga.

		Leaving the island via the bridge on the other side we will next visit Maem Lake, where the surrounding forested slopes are excellent for birds.
		Nearby, in a small area of woodland, Brown Hawk Owl can be found roosting and, in the open fields, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Streak-throated Swallow, Siberian Stonechat and Rufous-tailed Lark may be found.
