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 back and sides are gray and finely barred. There is a clear line of demarcation between the rose-colored bre more...

Length: 46 cm Wingspan: 76 cm
