 Bufflehead
Duck Range MapThe Bufflehead breeds from central Alaska to northeastern Manitoba and northern Ontario south to northern Washington, southern Manitoba and locally in southern Ontario; also locally south to the mountains of northern California, and to Wyoming, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Winters from the Aleutian Islands on the Pacific Coast, the Great Lakes, and Newfoundland on the Atlantic, south in coastal states and the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys to the southern United States and Mexico. The Bufflehead primarily inhabits small, shallow, fresh or slightly alkaline lakes and ponds, preferably without broad margins of emergent or floating aquatic vegetation, in mixed coniferous-deciduous woodlands north and west of the Great Plains. Logs, stumps, rocks, open shore, and sometimes fence rails near water are used for resting and loafing. Winters in sheltered marine habitats, or on brackish or freshwater.
