Duck Canvasback

The male canvasback ducks have a light gray canvas colored back. These ducks are popular for their beautiful coloration.

Canvasback migrate in lines and irregular V's. Their wing beat is rapid and noisy; their speed is the swiftest of all ducks. Flocks fly in compact indefinite formations in feeding areas.

Feeding behavior is highly variable. In some areas they feed at night and spend the day rafted up in open waters; in other areas they feed inshore mornings and evenings. On the water, body size and head shape distinguish them from the other ducks.
