🦆Bufflehead
Buffelhuvud (Bucephala albeola) är en liten nordamerikansk and i samma släkte som kniporna. Den häckar i skogssjöar i norra Nordamerika. Vintertid flyttar den mestadels till USA:s östra och västra kuster. Fågeln har påträffats i Europa, men de flesta fynden anses utgöras av parkrymlingar, bland annat de i Sverige. Världbeståndet anses vara livskraftigt och i ökande.
