In eclipse plumage, the male is similar to the female but rustier coloured, and with a dark green cap and eyestripe, and yellow bill. The cotton pygmy goose nests in tree holes, like hollowed-out trunks, during the dry season. They swim in freshwater lakes, paddy fields, and irrigation tanks.

Distribution: Mainly restricted to the highlands of Scotland during the summer, their winter range includes most coastal areas, lakes, large rivers and other inland water bodies. They are particularly best looked for in north and west Britain. van der Ven, Joost (2007). Roze is een kleur– Zoektochten naar een eend in Myanmar 1999–2006. Utrecht: IJzer. Common Goldeneyes breed in Canada and Alaska in summer and migrate late to the lower 48 for winter. Fun Fact: Northern Shovelers will sometimes form large groups that swim in circles to help stir up the bottom for feeding. 8. Northern PintailNesting happens on cliff ledges in small nooks and crannies, along with holes in trees. Occasionally, a nest is on the ground. They are happy to breed at any time of year and when it is time to lay eggs, it is common for the female to take over the nests of other local species. However, non-breeding males have the same distinct pattern and coloring as breeding males with respect to their heads.

They eat plants on the surface of the water and submerged plants like pondweed. They also eat wild rice and animals such as earthworms, leeches, and snails.Fun fact: The pink coloration is due to a carotenoid pigment– a phenomenon observed in flamingos and other species. 2. Call And Communication Gadwall ( Mareca strepera) – 1,200 pairs/25,000 birds – native (though numbers increased by releases of captive birds) The female is grey with brown mottles with a darker brown breast, and rump. The head his pale, dull brown with a white eyering and white around the bill and throat. The bill is grey with a pale central band.

During breeding seasons, Eurasian wigeons live in Scandinavia, the British Isles, Iceland, eastern Siberia, and northern Europe. Eurasian wigeons winter in Africa, Arabia, India, southern China, the east Atlantic islands, and the Philippines. After the last confirmed sighting in 1949, there have been numerous reports of sightings, but none have been confirmed. Several searches undertaken by enthusiasts have been inconclusive. Further surveys were conducted by BirdLife International and Myanmar’s Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Association (BANCA), but these too were unable to provide conclusive evidence. Garganeys rarely updend completely when feeding and tend to dip just their head or skim the surface of the water with their bill. Redheads eat aquatic plants, pondweed, and grass. They also like to munch on snails, zebra mussels, and mayflies. The female is similar to the male in eclipse plumage and very similar to the female mallard. The head is grey and the tail is dull. The bill has orange sides, and the legs are orange.You can find White-winged Scoters in northern forests near freshwater lakes and wetlands during their breeding season. During the winter, they prefer the open ocean and coastal environments, particularly bays and inlets. Jerdon, T. C. (1864). The game birds and wild fowl of India. Calcutta: Military Orphan Press. pp.176–177. Juveniles are a combination of both males and females. Their coloring and dark cap are like the females, but they also have the yellow knob at the base of their bill like the males. Nests of King Eiders are built by the female on the ground near water. They are usually “scrape nests”, or hollowed-out ground lined with grass and feathers from the female herself. She lays two to seven eggs that she incubates for twenty-two to twenty-three days. Barrow’s Goldeneyes breed in western Canada, Alaska, and a few areas of eastern Canada near the coast before migrating to northwestern US states and the west coast of Canada.

Females are brown with a white patch between each eye and bill.Both males and females have yellow eyes. Greater Scaups look very similar to Lesser Scaup except with rounder heads. Eiders feed by diving, dipping, and up-ending often in shallow water, foraging for molluscs, crustaceans, and sometimes fish. They can also swim underwater. The male’s haunting call carries far, while the female produces a series of guttural sounds during breeding season.King Eiders breed in coastal northern Canada before migrating for winter to the south coast of Alaska and the east coast of Canada, and the coasts of northeastern US states. Female and Juvenile White-winged Scoters are similar. They are both dark brown with white patches in front and behind their eyes. They have dark gray bills with a smaller knob at the base.
