Bufflehead

Pen and watercolor Bufflehead.

This monogamous lil cutie, unlike most ducks, will remain with the same mate for several years. This is the perfect gift to tell that special someone in your life, that you love them.

A buoyant, large-headed duck that abruptly vanishes and resurfaces as it feeds, the tiny Bufflehead spends winters bobbing in bays, estuaries, reservoirs, and lakes. Males are striking black-and white from a distance. A closer look at the head shows glossy green and purple setting off the striking white patch. Females are a subdued gray-brown with a neat white patch on the cheek. Bufflehead nest in old woodpecker holes, particularly those made by Northern Flickers, in the forests of northern North America.
