Hey wait for me! – Doesn’t she look like she is running to catch a train 🙂
A flock of a dozen male and female Ruddy Ducks were recently spotted on Cape Ann, foraging at fresh water ponds and the marsh. They are really quite funny to watch as they dive for insects, other invertebrates, and aquatic plants and seeds. The males are especially fun and show-offy, animatedly puffing out their chest and fanning their feathers.
Ruddy Ducks are about the same size as Buffleheads and you will often seem them together in mixed flocks during the winter months.
