WILDLIFE GALLERY : DUCK AND LOON DECOYS

Preening Canvasback Duck Decoy

The Canvasback duck can be found gathering in huge rafts- close groupings of birds afloat on the water- on their coastal and inland wintering grounds. There they feed, rest and sleep, far from the shore. In recent years, the canvasback population has fallen sharply. This decline is due in part to overhunting; but far more damaging is the draining of the northern marshes in which the Canvasback usually nests.
