Canvasback
The colors of the Canvasback are similar to the Redhead (A. americana). It's slender build makes it readily distinguishable from the other two species. They breed over much of western western North America, from central Alaska, through Canada south to Utah and east to Nebraska and Iowa. They maybe year-round residents in part of the range, but most Winter along the Pacific Coast, east through Mexico, the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic Coast. Both sexes have long, sloping foreheads and slender black bills. The drake's head and neck is reddish-brown, which turns very dark above the bill. The breast, mantle and tail are black; the rest of the body is gray that is finely vermiculated. The hen is quite unlike others of this genus, the head and neck are brown, with a white line running through the eye and the rest of the body a light grayish-buff. The legs and feet of both sexes are drak grayish-blue.
