Pinta Duck Description in Natural History Series
American Waterfowl in the Natural History series describes the Pinta as a slim, long-necked duck with tail spines, feathery central tail plumes, and a slender body. It is a strong swimmer and flyer though shy, hiding in marsh grasses by day and feeding mainly after dark. Known as Gray Duck and Spike Tail, its winter range spans Alaska to Panama and the Atlantic coast to Virginia and Maryland. Mallard and Pinta are the two most abundant meat ducks, with the Pinta showing less recent decline due to its high northern range and adaptation to harsh conditions.
