About These Birds
American Black Duck
北米東部の湿地、沼、河川に生息するカモ（体長53〜61cm）。全体的に暗褐色でマガモの雌に似るが、嘴の色や翼鏡の色が異なる。Anas rubripes（アメリカクロガモ）は海岸の塩性湿地から内陸の淡水域まで幅広く利用し、マガモとの雑種が多く観察される。Anatidae科。

ヨーロッパからアジアにかけて繁殖し、南方で越冬する潜水ガモ（体長40〜47cm）。雄は光沢のある黒い体と白い脇が特徴で、頭後部に垂れる冠羽が名前の由来。Aythya fuligula（キンクロハジロ）は日本全国の冬の湖沼・海岸で普通に見られ、水中深くまで潜って水生植物や二枚貝を食べる。Anatidae科。
