おもしろい事実

Buffleheads are North America's smallest diving ducks, weighing less than a soda can!

Ducklings leap from their tree-hole nests, sometimes 10 feet high, hours after hatching!

Male Buffleheads perform a funny head-pumping courtship display to attract a mate.

These ducks often reuse the same tree-hole nests each year for their ducklings.
