This ground-nesting bird is perhaps the most familiar of all waterfowl. Occurring throughout North America and Eurasia, they can be thought of as the "ancestor" of common domestic duck breeds.

These small birds are handsome aerialists and a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They love to chase after flying insects in a spectacular acrobatic routine filled with twists and turns.
