Ruddy ducks are known for their distinctive courtship displays during the breeding season. Males stick their tails straight up while striking their bills against their inflated necks, creating bubbles in the water as air is forced from their feathers. They punctuate the end of the display with a belch-like call. They also dash across the water with tails held down, making popping sounds with their feet. 🎥: Dan Streiffert #ruddyduck #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildlifer
