Canvasback

Aythya valisineria

Description:

Canvasbacks are a species of duck. The white plume in their backs and bellies give it the name Canvasback.

Habitat:

It likes to nest near water on prarie marshes.

Notes:

I do apologize for the lack of quality of the picture. But it was a rather large floatilla. I've linked the Wikipedia page if you would like a close-up. Submitted by Jake.

Hi Jake and Alex, welcome to Project Noah! Is it possible to enlarge the size of this pic so we can see the ducks better?
