Harlequin
Duck - Histrionicus histrionicus
The
harlequin duck is a saltwater duck, and the drake like other drakes
have fancier feathers then the hen. The drake has bluish feathers and
brownish underneath the wings with white spots on its back and its
sides. The hen is very similar to the bufflehead hen, but it is
larger in size. Unlike the bufflehead, the hen has white feathers in
the middle of the back of its wings.
These
ducks are present here all year round. They are shot during winter
and fall. But they are avoided during the summer and spring because
they are full of pin feathers and they make plucking
difficult.
Lots of
harlequin ducks can be seen quite often around here. They are also
seen along the shore swimming. During the summer when their feathers
are changing, they cannot fly. If you approach them when they are in
this situation, they seem to run along the top of the water when they
are fleeing.
The
harlequin ducks lay egges during the summer. I used to hear that if
someone looks for harlequin duck eggs, he is looking for his own
death.
