Black Duck in Silhouette - Hatteras Island - stock photo
A silhouette of an American black duck (Anas rubripes) rises from the water, its wings slicing through the fiery reflection of the setting sun. Once a dominant species along the East Coast, black duck populations have declined significantly due to habitat loss, competition with invasive mallards, and the degradation of tidal marshes. Conservation initiatives aim to restore salt marsh ecosystems and protect undisturbed wetlands, ensuring that this iconic waterfowl remains a fixture of North America’s coastal landscapes.
