When Big-Water Canvasbacks Choose Small Waters

Aythya valisineria, the canvasback, stands as the largest of North America's divers, rightly earning the nickname the "King of Ducks." Their unmistakable profile stands out on the lakes, rivers, and other large bodies of water they regularly frequent throughout the year.
However, this is not always the preferred location for these regal divers. Dr. Chris Nicolai, Delta's Waterfowl Scientist, shares details that reveal why they leave their usual habitats and settle in smaller wetlands.

I just shot one of these on the second hunt I've been on, 5th duck I've ever shot. My buddy who's been going for 15+ years said he'd never shot one, and it was on a public land marsh here in Missouri where we almost never see them. I was very excited and am getting it taxidermied!
