Description

Male Readhead duck spreads its wings.

Lake Junaluska in the mountains of North Carolina becomes home to a respite for the Redhead duck before migrating North for the summer months. Today, the migratory waterfowl may have wished to layover a little further South as temperatures were in the teens overnight with winds dipping below zero. I know I was freezing while capturing these guests in our mountains before heading home.

"With a gleaming cinnamon head setting off a body marked in black and business gray, adult male Redheads light up the open water of lakes and coastlines. They usually dive for their food, although they use shallower water than other diving ducks and may feed by tipping up, like a dabbling duck."
