Canvasback



Canvasback flyby, Windsor, Ontario, Feb 22, 2019, Lakeview Marina.
Had a chance to check out the ducks on the Detroit River.
Lots of Canvasbacks flying by.

Aythya valisineria
The species name of the Canvasback, valisineria, comes from Vallisneria americana, or wild celery, whose winter buds and stems are the duck’s preferred food during the nonbreeding period.
