“Me me!” - quacked the Ruddy Duck. If that cute little tail sticking up in the air doesn’t get you, the blue bill will! What a beauty this little bird is. At just 15 inches with a wingspan of 18.5 inches, the Ruddy Duck is recorded as a regular visitor to Anguilla during winter. In the past, I have seen chicks born on Anguilla, making it a breeding visitor.
My husband and I saw two male Ruddy Ducks at East End Pond in early December. The blue bills were unmistakable.
I love this duck! It is soooo cute. Thank you for sharing this fun article.
Wonderful news!
Your photo of the male ruddy duck is the best I have ever seen!
Thank you Adelaide!
