[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Patagonian Crested Duck is found in shallow coastal regions throughout the Falklands, where it forages for invertebrates and marine algae. Sexes are similar in appearance. Although less numerous than other Falkland marine ducks, they are not considered threatened and have an extensive breeding range in South America.
