Found along fast-flowing streams during breeding seasons and rocky seashores during winter, this duck’s name originates from its colorful appearance that resembles the costume of the Harlequin character in commedia dell’arte. Adapted to cold environments, they are mostly seen in the coastal areas of North America and some parts of Eastern Canada. Their life closely tied to the purity of their habitat, Harlequin Ducks serve as indicators of ecosystem health in their chosen environments.
