    The Harlequin duck feeds on aquatic insects, small fish, shellfish, mussels, and insect larvae. It can dive 3-4 meters deep to catch prey in 15-25 seconds. Harlequin ducks nest close to water and usually lay 3-9 pale, creamy eggs. Their habitat includes mountain streams, rivers, forested areas, and rocky, turbulent coastal waters. However, human activities like development, boats, hydroelectric power plants, and oil spills threaten Harlequin ducks by disturbing nesting areas and degrading habitats.

    hunters or power plants be in the way, boating activities have also scared
    the ducks enough to not go back to places. Human disturbance is also a

    keep going back there so they could lose prime feeding areas
