Ruddy ducks are known for their distinctive courtship displays during the breeding season. Males stick their tails straight up while striking their bills against their inflated necks, creating bubbles in the water as air is forced from their feathers. They punctuate the end of the display with a belch-like call. They also dash across the water with tails held down, making popping sounds with their feet. 🎥: Dan Streiffert #ruddyduck #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildlifer

The North American Ruddy Duck is a little bird with a big attitude. During the breeding season, aggressive males perform courtship behaviors that include chest-drumming, diving, and chasing, followed by agitated preening - all to impress a female! | Sylvan Heights Bird Park

Patients of the week! These three Ruddy Duck ducklings (can you say that three times fast?) are being raised at our hospital after they were each orphaned. As you can see, they love diving for one of their favourite foods: mealworms! A few more weeks and these little ones will be old enough to return to the wild. | Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation
