Migrates in small V-shaped flocks of 10–50 individuals. Canvasbacks occur year-round in some areas, but the individuals present in the summer versus the winter may differ. Females and immatures depart the breeding grounds first, followed by the males who depart later from the molting grounds.
How far do canvasbacks migrate?
How far and how fast canvasbacks migrate depends on the weather. Many canvasbacks remain up north until ice covers their food supplies and they are forced to continue their journey south. Surprisingly, male and female canvasbacks tend to settle in different places for the winter.
Where do canvasbacks migrate to?
Canvasbacks migrate through the Mississippi Flyway to wintering grounds in the mid-Atlantic United States and the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), or the Pacific Flyway to wintering grounds along the coast of California.
