American Black Duck

This large dabbling duck is very dark brown overall. Back and flank feathers lack paler margins, resulting in a less patterned appearance than most other female dabbling ducks. The head and neck are paler with a dark crown, dark line through the eye, and fine streaking. Only Mottled Duck compares in more...

Length: 48 cm Wingspan: 84 cm

American Wigeon

A chunky dabbling duck with short legs and a long tail. The distinctive head shape, characterized by a steep forehead, high forecrown, and sloped crown, is less round than most other dabbling ducks. Male: Head is mostly gray with fine black mottling with a white crown, and a bold iridescent green str more...

Length: 46 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Baikal Teal

This Asian species could be overlooked in a flock of similar Green-winged Teal.

The sides are gray with vertical white bord more...

Length: 38 cm Wingspan: 51 cm

Barnacle Goose

This small goose is a rare visitor from Europe. Single birds in North America have long been presumed escapees, but there is increasing evidence that at least some are legitimate vagrants. The mostly white face contrasts with the otherwise black nape, neck, and breast. A dark line extends through the more...

Length: 58 cm Wingspan: 132 cm

Barrow's Goldeneye

A compact diving duck with a puffy head and short thick bill. The forehead is extremely steep; sometimes extending forward from the base of the bill. This feature is often the most reliable for distinguishing female and young birds from the similar Common Goldeneye. Male: Black head with purple iride more...

Length: 41 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Black Scoter

The smallest of the three scoter species, Black Scoters are recognized by their smaller bills and round foreheads. Males: Plumage is all black. The base of the bill is covered by an orange-yellow knob. Females: Dark brown with a small dark bill. Pale cheeks and throat contrast with dark crown and hin more...

Length: 43 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Black-bellied Whistling-Duck

Long necks and legs set whistling-ducks apart from other ducks. This species is rufous-brown overall with a black belly. The plain gray face and white eyering contrast with the rufous crown and hindneck. The large bill is reddish. Legs and feet are pink; intensely so in the breeding season. In flight more...

Length: 46 cm Wingspan: 86 cm

Blue-winged Teal

This little dabbling duck is named for the large pale blue patch on the upper wing, visible in flight. Male: In basic plumage, head is bluish-gray with a large white crescent running in front of the eye down the base of the bill. The sides are tan with fine dark spots. A small white patch on the lowe more...

Length: 38 cm Wingspan: 58 cm

Brant

This high-Arctic breeding small marine goose is black-headed and black-necked, with highly variable underparts, extensive white on the vent and undertail, and a partial white neck collar. Two distinct subspecies, which winter along the Atlantic ("hrota") and Pacific ("nigricans") coasts, were formerl more...

Length: 56 cm Wingspan: 109 cm

Bufflehead

Our smallest diving duck is easily recognized by its puffy head, short stubby bill, and rapid wingbeats. Male: Head is black with green and purple iridescence and a large white wedge. Underparts are bright white, upperparts black. In flight, shows a large white patch on wing coverts and secondaries. more...

Length: 33 cm Wingspan: 51 cm

Cackling Goose

Superficially similar to the larger Canada Goose, with brownish body, black head and neck, and white cheek patches. Cackling Goose is smaller overall, with proportionally shorter neck, a much shorter, steep-sloped bill, and proportionally longer wings. Often exhibits a white ring at the base of neck. more...

Length: 56 cm Wingspan: 109 cm

Canada Goose

Local introductions and reintroductions have made this large goose a familiar sight throughout North America. In terms of size and coloration variability, this species has few rivals, thus the number of recognized subspecies has been the subject of much debate. All forms share a black head and neck w more...

Length: 64 cm Wingspan: 127 cm

Canvasback

This diving duck is instantly recognized by its unique ski-slope head profile. There is no angle change between the slope of the forehead and the long, all-black, wedge-shape bill. The head shape is otherwise gentle curved from the forecrown to the nape. Male: The head and neck rich chestnut-brown, more...

Length: 48 cm Wingspan: 71 cm

Cinnamon Teal

This small, dabbling duck has a proportionally large bill. It typically travels in pairs or small groups. Male: Bright chestnut overall, darker on folded wings. The eye is red in all seasons. Pale blue upperwing coverts and green speculum are sometimes visible at rest. In flight, these features produ more...

Length: 36 cm Wingspan: 61 cm

Common Eider

This large sea duck is recognized by its wedge-shaped bill with long fleshy lobes that extend from the nostrils toward the eyes, and with feathering that extends down the sides of the bill. The shape of these features varies among the four different races that breed in North America. Male: In alterna more...

Length: 58 cm Wingspan: 89 cm

Common Goldeneye

This compact diving duck gets its name from its bright yellow eyes. In flight, rapid deep wingbeats produce a distinctive whistling sound. Common Goldeneyes are distinguished from Barrow’s Goldeneyes in all plumages by the shape of the head. Commons have a sloping forehead leading up to a tall peak more...
