Redheads on Lake Ontario

Redheads on Lake Ontario
26 December 2013

    Among the great variety of ducks to be found on Lake Ontario at this time of the year the Redhead Aytha americana can often be found in relatively small numbers amid the other Aytha species inhabiting the lake. It is always a great pleasure to see this colourful member of its family. Here they are keeping company with American Coots Fulica americana.
