Ruddy ducks are known for their distinctive courtship displays during the breeding season. Males stick their tails straight up while striking their bills against their inflated necks, creating bubbles in the water as air is forced from their feathers. They punctuate the end of the display with a belch-like call. They also dash across the water with tails held down, making popping sounds with their feet. 🎥: Dan Streiffert #ruddyduck #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildlifer

RUDDY DUCK RELEASE! One of the last patients admitted in 2024 was a Ruddy Duck that we received from our friends at Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital. The bird was found in a roadway, and an x-ray revealed a scapula fracture, likely caused by an impact with a vehicle. After treatment and recovery time, the bird was cleared to begin water-proofing and re-acclimating to outdoor temperatures. Ruddy Ducks spend most of their time on water, so creating a “habitat” that is comfortable and appropriate for
