Description
A young Redhead duck swims by after just ascending from a dive for food. The water beads sit on its back. Shortly after this photo, it dove and swam under the dock that I was standing on. The female has an unusual behavior as to nesting. Many, rather than building a nest, "dump" their eggs in other Redhead nests or other species of ducks. The hatching success is low because the host female often deserts the nest and re nests.
