These Ducks are quite interesting I've left some concise information below.

>This aptly named diving duck takes a new partner every year.

>Energy saver ? During dry spells females dump their eggs in the nests of other birds to conserve energy. Up to 87 Redhead eggs have been found in one nest !

>Up to three quarters of the population bred in the prairie pothole region of Canada, now drained for wheat production.
