The Hawaiian Duck, scientifically known as Anas eatoni, is a species of dabbling duck endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It is a medium-sized duck with a mottled brown plumage, a distinctive green patch on the wing, and a bright orange bill. This species is known for its adaptability to a variety of freshwater habitats, including wetlands, marshes, and ponds. The Hawaiian Duck is an omnivorous bird, feeding on aquatic plants, insects, and small invertebrates. Due to habitat loss and introduced predators, the Hawaiian Duck faces conservation challenges, and its population is currently declining.
