Red-Headed Duck

The Red-Headed Duck gather in large flocks in the winter time on lagoons along the Texas coast.

 In summer time  they are found on the prairie marshes were the female often lay their eggs in the nests od other water birds.
Redhead Ducks populations have been steady since 1955, at around 400,000 to 800,000.
They  dive to feed on seeds, rhizomes, tubers of pondweeds, wild celery, water lilies, grasses and wild rice, plus insects and small fish.
