Meet the Bufflehead, the Smallest Diving Duck in North America

PAWS Wildlife recently cared for and released a Bufflehead duck! 🦆 These stunning birds breed in boreal forests and return to bays, coves, river estuaries, lakes, and other slow-moving bodies of water during the winter. Unfortunately, migrating waterfowl often crash into wet pavement when they mistake it for water. These birds are generally cumbersome on the ground and some species can’t even take flight from land. Once stranded, these birds are vulnerable to further injury and feather contamin
