Ruddy

Post by BornBad » August 1st, 2004, 9:04 am

The ruddy duck often dives or swims away from danger rather than flying off. When flying, their small wings strokes so fast it resembles a bumblebee.

They are early to mid-fall migrants.

Drakes often cock their tails upright at an angle, the only species to habitually do so.

Length: 15 ?"
Weight: 1 1/3lbs

I'm not sure I have ever seen one... Never had an interest in bird watching.
