The Redhead (Aythya americana) is a North American diving duck with an intermittent range from Canada to the Caribbean, favoring semi-permanent non-forested wetlands to breed and migrating south in winter.  They eat mostly mollusks and insect larvae while breeding and more vegetation when migrating and wintering.
