The Redhead (Aythya americana), also known as a pochard, is a medium-sized diving duck. Their legs are farther back on the body, which makes it difficult to walk on land but they have larger webbing on their feet and a broader bill which makes them especially adapted to foraging underwater. During the breeding season, adult males have a copper head and a black breast. The back and sides are grey with a white belly and light black rump and tail. The male bill is pale blue with a black tip. The females are light brown with a white ring around the eye. Their bill is dark gray with a black tip. Redheads breed across a wide range of North America from Northern Canada to the Southern United States. In the winter they migrate south to warmer climates. Their favored habitat is wetlands in non-forested areas. In the winter the redheads prefer protected coastal areas. During the breeding season their diet includes gastropods, mollusks and larvae and occasionally grass and other vegetation. In the winter the redhead eats mainly plant material. This male redhead was photographed while swimming in John F. Kennedy Lake in Tucson, Arizona, USA.

The Canvasback (Aythya valisineria) is a large diving duck, the largest in North America. The duck’s common name is based on its white back looking like a blank painter’s canvas. The canvasback has a wedge-shaped head and long neck. The adult male has a black bill and a reddish head and neck. The male’s sides, back, and belly are white resembling the textured weave of a canvas. The adult female (hen) also has a black bill with a light brown head and neck. The chest, sides and back are brown. The canvasback’s primary breeding habitat is in the North American prairie potholes. It prefers to nest among the protective cover of cattails and bulrushes. Other important breeding areas are the river deltas of Saskatchewan and the Alaskan interior. The canvasback migrates to wintering grounds in the mid-Atlantic states, lower Mississippi Valley or along the California coast. Brackish bays and marshes with abundant aquatic vegetation and invertebrates are ideal wintering habitat. The canvasback feeds mainly by diving but also gets food by dabbling. A favorite food of the canvasback are the tubers of the sago pondweed but also eats buds, seeds, roots, snails and insect larvae. This male canvasback was photographed while swimming at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
