Black-headed Duck
Male gives a soft, raspy peeping note; female produces a muted quack. An obligate brood parasite with reduced vocalizations; subdued calls suit its secretive lifestyle among Argentine reeds.

About These Birds
Labrador Duck
拉布拉多鸭已于19世纪后期灭绝，是北美历史上最先消失的鸟类之一。曾繁殖于加拿大东部，越冬于美国大西洋沿岸。雄鸟黑白相间，外形独特；雌鸟褐色。灭绝原因尚不完全清楚，可能与过度猎捕、沿海湿地破坏及食物减少有关。最后确认的标本记录于1878年。
Black-headed Duck
黑头鸭是南美洲的寄生性鸭子，不自己筑巢，而将卵产于其他水鸟（包括其他鸭类、䴙䴘、红鹭等）的巢中，由寄主孵化并抚育。分布于阿根廷、乌拉圭、智利和巴西南部。雄鸟头部黑色，体羽深褐色；雌鸟头部褐色。是唯一真正的全职巢寄生鸭类。
