Description

The Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) is a North American stiff-tailed duck that occupies marshy lakes and ponds; in the winter they migrate to coastal bays and unfrozen lakes and ponds. They are small and compactly built with stout, scoop-shaped bills, and long stiff-tails turned upwards. Adult males have a rich chestnut color and a bright blue bill, and in the winter they have a gray-brown coloration with a dull gray bill. Adult females are similar in appearance to winter males but with a blurry stripe across the pale check patch. Their diet consists of crustaceans, aquatic insects, and seeds and roots of aquatic plants.

Anseriformes, or waterfowl, are an order of aquatic birds that include ducks, geese, and swan. Since these birds are frequently aquatic, many Anseriformes have webbed feet, are medium to large in size, and are primarily herbivorous, but will forge on occasion for insects, mollusks, or small fish.
