An aptly named diving duck, the Red Head can be easily identified by its bright red head and gray back. Many female Redheads make no nests of their own, but instead lay their eggs in the nests of other ducks. Though slow moving on land, Red Head Ducks are known to reach and incredible 80 miles per hour when flying. They are known by their puffy red head and stunning yellow iris. This more colourful example is the male Red Head.
