Canvasback Duck
Aythya valisineria
The canvasback duck (hereafter canvasback) gets its common name from the
light gray canvas-colored back of the male, or drake. The canvasback gets its
specific name, Aythya valisineria from Vallisneria americana, or wild celery,
which is its preferred food during the non-breeding season. With its subtle but
beautiful coloration, the canvasback duck has long been a favorite of water-
fowl enthusiasts around the nation. When migrating, canvasbacks often fly
in an impressive V-shaped formation that resembles a squadron of airplanes
at high altitude.
Range and Distribution
Canvasbacks are only found in North America;
with the center of its breeding range the
prairie-parklands of southern Canada. Canvas -
backs do not nest in North Carolina. During
early fall, canvasbacks begin migrating south
to wintering areas. Canvasback wintering areas
are dispersed throughout the country, but the
largest concentrations occur along the Atlantic
Coast (Chesapeake Bay), the Mississippi River
delta in southern Louisiana, and San Francisco
and San Pablo Bays, California. Some canvas-
backs migrate to North Carolina, but their
winter numbers have dropped considerably
over the last 15 years.
