	Tufted Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula) is a medium-sized diving duck with a population close to one million birds.
		The only drake duck which is at all similar is the North American Ring-necked Duck, which however has a different head shape, no tuft and greyish flanks.
		These ducks are migratory in most of their range, and winter in the milder south and west of Europe, southern Asia and all year in most of theUK.

		Ducks exploit a variety of food sources such as grasses, grains and water plants, fish, insects, and the like.
		Ducks have many domestic uses, being farmed for their meat, eggs, and feathers and down.
		Ducks should not be confused with several types of unrelated birds with similar forms, such as loons or divers, grebes, gallinules, and coots.

	Tufted duck
		The drake of the tufted duck is immediately recognised by the pigtail of feathers on the head and the bold fl and white plumage.
		Tufted ducks are very tolerant of humans, although not to the same degree as mallards.
		Their diet is mainly molluscs, crustaceans, insect larvae and seeds gathered from the bottom, and the national increase in tufted ducks may be in part due to the introduced zebra mussel successfully colonising gravel pits.

	Tufted duck - Aythya fuligula: More Information - ARKive
		To add to the confusion, tufted ducks are known to hybridise with both these species, leading to offspring that can resemble both parents at a distance.
		Tufted ducks range across nearly all of Europe and the UK and there are resident breeding populations in Britain, northern France, Germany and Poland.
		Tufted ducks belong to the group known as diving ducks, and feed mainly on water animals.

		The Tufted Duck is, together with the Coot, the most common bird in the fjord in the winter.
		This is 3-5% (1 in 25) of all Tufted Duck on the northwest European migration route, which means that from the point of view of conservation this area is of international significance for the Tufted Duck.
		The Tufted Duck has also recently developed a small breeding population on the islets in the southernmost part of the fjord.

		Call ducks are remarkable from their extraordinary loquacity: the drake only hisses like common drakes; nevertheless, when paired with the common duck, he transmits to his female offspring a strong quacking tendency.
		The Penguin duck is the most remarkable of all the breeds; the thin neck and body are carried erect; the wings are small; the tail is upturned; and the thigh-bones and metatarsi are considerably lengthened in proportion with the same bones in the wild duck.
		These latter bones in the Call duck are short, and a line drawn from their extremities to the summit of the skull is nearly straight, instead of being concave as in the common duck; so that the skull resembles that of a small goose.

	The Ring-Necked Duck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In shape, the Tufted Duck, or Ring-bill, as it is called in Kentucky, resembles the Scaup or Flocking Fowl, but is plumper and more rounded.
		The bill of the Scaup Duck is still broader towards the end, with a much narrower unguis, and the flattened part of the upper mandible still narrower than in the Tufted Duck; the colour of the speculum is also different, being bluish-grey in the Ring-necked Duck, and white in the two allied species.
		The females of the Ring-necked and Scaup Ducks, which are nearly similar in colour, differ in the speculum, and in the peculiar form of the bill.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for February 22-29, 2004
		Unless the WA duck is an anomalous image, the flat back to the head rings false for pure Tufted Duck and makes me strongly suspect Ring-necked in it's recent ancestry.
		Tufted Duck head shape is relatively smoothly rounded, closer to Greater Scaup than Lesser Scaup, (really shown quite well in http://home.pacbell.net/robbie22/tudu/tudu.htm - in fact the second image down the page is in quite striking contrast to the WA bird).
		There may be a chance this bird is an abnormal Tufted Duck, but too many features lean against that fact, that I'm am likely left with two options, the RNDU x TUDU option or to leave this bird as a likely hybrid, but officially unidentified.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for March 1-9, 2002
		Most duck do their courtship display on their wintering grounds, so a tufted duck/lesser scaup pairing could happen here in the wild and if I remeber correctly the male duck usually follwos the female to her breeding grounds.
		Records of Tufted Duck x Lesser Scaup hybrids, on the other hand, seem to be very scarce; the author found only two references to birds that were suspected to be of this hybrid combination, namely: - Peterjohn, B. (1989): Description of a probable Tufted Duck x Lesser Scaup hybrid.
		It should be noted that in the female probable Tufted Duck x Lesser Scaup described by Harrop (1998), the white wing stripe reached onto the primaries.

	Aythya hybrid from Long Island, New York
		Initially reported to the local RBA as a Tufted Duck - with the caveat that it had a short tuft.
		However, the odd shape of the tuft and the dense vermiculations on the mantle creating the impression of a dark gray rather fl back seem to rule out this species.
		Indeed he states that "mixed trait birds seen occasionally in North America are usually taken to be Tufted x Greater Scaup, and most of these birds are probably true vagrants." He attributes this frequency to overlapping breeding ranges in Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula as well as in Iceland.
