Harlequin Duck

Alaska species birds FWS Glen Smart harlequinduck

Harlequin Ducks like to live on the edge. They spend their days in river rapids and crashing surf. Both males and females have a white patch in front of their eyes and round white spots behind their ears. Another common name for the Harlequin Duck is Sea Mouse, a reference to squeaking noises they make when in large groups.
