The lack of data on summer diet and feeding behaviour for the endangered eastern North American population of Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) prompted a study of activity patterns and feeding ecology in a coastal stream in Hebron Fiord, Labrador. Diurnal activity patterns varied by habitat and changed through the season. Extensive feeding occurred in slow-moving waters, contrary to expectation. Females spent 40% of daylight hours feeding during the prelaying period, more than twice the time spent by males and higher than that reported in other studies. Diurnal feeding patterns showed little variation in the prelaying period and major peaks of activity in the morning and evening during incubation and brood rearing. Larval Simuliidae (Diptera) were absent from a fecal sample taken in July but dominated the prey remains in feces collected in August. Dive times averaged 10-24 s and varied with depth of water. Dive-pause ratios of 1.7-2.2 were lower than previously reported. The results support the...
