It is also met with along our Atlantic coasts; but there, although I have seen many individuals on the Chesapeake and other large arms of the sea, it is by no means so plentiful as in the interior. Its flesh is excellent, equalling in my opinion that of any other Duck; and when it has been feeding along the margins of rivers, creeks, or ponds for a few weeks, it becomes very fat, tender, and juicy, and has none of the fishy flavour of those species which are in the habit of diving deep for their food. In shape, the Tufted Duck, or Ring-bill, as it is called in Kentucky, resembles the Scaup or Flocking Fowl, but is plumper and more rounded.” - John James Audubon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45464131567660,"sku":null,"price":10500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1156\/7956\/files\/AU00041_TuftedDuck.jpg?v=1776452190","url":"https:\/\/aradernyc.com\/products\/audubon-john-james-1785-1851-tufted-duck-plate-234-1827-1838","provider":"Arader Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
