Canvasback the prized wild duck of North America
The canvasback is a large, highly valued duck bred from Alaska to Wisconsin and wintering from British Columbia to New York and central New Mexico. It forms rafts on winter lakes, feeds on wild celery and eelgrass, nests in water with 7 to 15 eggs, and may produce a single brood yearly.
