Ruddy ducks are known for their distinctive courtship displays during the breeding season. Males stick their tails straight up while striking their bills against their inflated necks, creating bubbles in the water as air is forced from their feathers. They punctuate the end of the display with a belch-like call. They also dash across the water with tails held down, making popping sounds with their feet. 🎥: Dan Streiffert #ruddyduck #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildlifer

"One of my favorite North American breeding bird displays. The Ruddy Duck clacks its bill against its chest, like a folk musician playing the spoons. All while making an adorable belching sound."– Jacob Saucer, Division of Birds #SummerRoadTrip #Playlist | Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Male ruddy ducks are basically unmistakable and difficult to confuse with other species, especially during courtship. They have a bright white cheek patch and a blue bill that they rapidly strike against their inflated neck-chest, creating bubbles in the water.

Patients of the week! These three Ruddy Duck ducklings (can you say that three times fast?) are being raised at our hospital after they were each orphaned. As you can see, they love diving for one of their favourite foods: mealworms! A few more weeks and these little ones will be old enough to return to the wild. | Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation
