About These Birds

Campbell Teal

A tiny flightless teal with dark brown plumage in females and males with greenish-black head. Endemic to Campbell Island, New Zealand. Nearly extinct; reintroduced after eradication of Norway rats from the island. Nocturnal; feeds on invertebrates at freshwater sources.

American Black Duck

El pato negro americano es un gran pato de color marrón muy oscuro con una cabeza más clara y un llamativo espéculo alar púrpura. Habita en humedales del este de Norteamérica y se está hibridando cada vez más con el pato de collar introducido en su rango, lo que representa una amenaza para su pureza genética. Prefiere marismas costeras, pantanos boscosos y lagos tranquilos.
