Oldsquaw - Clangula hyemalis

The oldsquaw duck is a saltwater duck. The feathers are black and white in color. They are sometimes seen on water in big flocks. They are in big flocks too when they are flying. The oldsquaw duck has a short beak. The beak is black and pink. Like the drake for the pintail, the drake oldsquaw has a sharp long tail. The hen, on the other hand, does not have a long tail.

Sometimes the oldsquaw ducks are found in great numbers out at sea. They are divers and they do a lot of diving. The way to catch them is to approach them with a boat when they are diving. When they surface, they are shot. They are very strong, and they are hard to kill.

Among the saltwater ducks, the oldsquaw is one of those that is easier to pluck. They are still harder to pluck, however, than the freshwater ducks.

The oldsquaw ducks spend the winters around this areas and come spring, they go back north where they come from. They again return here during the fall.

When the oldsquaw duck is quacking, it sounds like it is saying, "Haagal angaliq. Haagal angaliq." This means in Aleut "I was hungry today."
