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."
