Ruddy ducks are divers, preferring to find aquatic insects found underwater. They do eat some plants, especially while migrating. They have a distinctive straight tail, and adult males are known for their blue beak. Watch for them displaying their courtship wiggle, wiggle on a wildlife refuge near you this spring. A ruddy duck floats on water, performs a quick mating dance by slapping his bill against his chest, then dives. Video by Tom Koerner. | U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Like the Ruddy Shelducks—who find one partner and stay together for life—I have chosen you. These beautiful migratory birds, known as ‘Brahminy Ducks,’ travel great distances yet always return to their mate. Every winter, they grace Assam’s wetlands—Kaziranga, Dibru-Saikhowa, Deepor Beel—filling the skies with their calls and the waters with their golden reflections. Just like them, no matter where life takes us, I will always find my way back to you. ❤️🦆 #ForeverYours #LoveLikeTheShelducks #As

Check out the ruddy ducks' diving skills (and look at those paddling feet!)! As diving ducks, their legs are set far back on their bodies. This makes it awkward for them to walk on land, but they're well-suited to diving under water. The ruddy ducks may remain underwater for over a minute while searching for food. | NEW Zoo & Adventure Park

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

Patients of the week! These three Ruddy Duck ducklings (can you say that three times fast?) are being raised at our hospital after they were each orphaned. As you can see, they love diving for one of their favourite foods: mealworms! A few more weeks and these little ones will be old enough to return to the wild. | Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation

Ever wonder how ducks sleep? Well, North American Ruddy Ducks rest in the water by tucking their head back into their wing and paddling with one foot so that they swim in circles! They dive into the water to get aquatic invertebrates to eat. Their feet are positioned back on their body to help them dive, but it makes them a bit awkward when walking on land. They are most active searching for food at night, so during they day, you may see them resting like this! You'll find our ruddy ducks in our
