The bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) is a small sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes. It breeds in Alaska and Canada and migrates in winter to southern North America. This species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae as Anas albeola.
The genus Bucephala was introduced in 1858 by American naturalist Spencer Baird with the bufflehead as the type species. [1] [2] The genus name is derived from Ancient Greek βουκέφαλος bouképhalos, meaning ' bullheaded ', from boûs ' bull ', and kephalḗ, ' head ', a reference to the crest of the bufflehead making its head look large.
Bufflehead was considered a "Priority Species" in the Bird Conservation Region Strategy in 2013. In 2015, Wild Species (Canada) presented that Bufflehead is in secure status. Later in 2018, the IUCN (International Union Conservative of Nature) stated that bufflehead is considered a "least concern" species. [ 17 ]
