How about some Harlequin Ducks to brighten up the day? These two were so close, I couldn’t get them in my scope. Video taken freehand with my phone. #birding #waterfowl #ducks #harlequinducks

In this week's issue of Nature Moments, we meet some amazing winter diving ducks. They are incredibly cute, incredibly tough, and an inspiration to us all!

So nice to see harleys back in local mountain rivers! #HarlequinDucks in this area (northwestern North America) spend their winters on coastal waters and migrate inland to fast flowing river stretches in the spring to reunite with their mates and breed. 🪶 #HopeBC #SilverSkagit

#HarlequinDucks stay close to the stormy coastline, diving in shallow waters to find food, like small crabs, shrimps, limpets, mussels, and fish eggs all tucked into the rocky crevices. To learn more, check out: www.hww.ca/en/wildlife/...

Left image (taken from https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry/recovery-strategies/harlequin-duck-management-plan/chapter-3.html) is a pair of Harlequin ducks, male and female, swimming away towards a grouping of rocks. The male has white strips, dots and a crest over its head and the female has a single dot near its eye. Right image is a map( from https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry/cosewic-assessments-status-reports/harlequin-duck-eastern-population-2013.html ) of North America denoting the areas where the Harlequin duck spend the breeding season (blue) and wintering season (orange). There are West coast population and East coast population. The Wintering season are coloured along the outer coastlines of Canada. The breeding season has the dusks move inland and more North towards the arctic. Text: Harlequin Duck. More information surrounding the habitats and needs of Harlequin Ducks is required in order to better establish proper conservation and protection policies. Human interference and oil spills, along the coastline habitats are treats to their reduced population. #NSWildifeSpotlight#SpeciesAtRisk #Ducks. Logo: Museum of Natural History a part of the NSM.
