In an edit, Dysmorodrepanis indicates that the Steller's Eider might might actually be closest living relative of the Labrador Duck. I have not seen this in the literature, but I am by no means an ornithologist. The one reference I have seen on relationships indicated the Labrador Duck might be related to the Scoters and to the Harlequin Duck. I'd love to see references on this. -- Cotinis 17:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Although it was hunted for food, this bird probably died out because of decline due to pollution of mussels and other shellfish that it is believed to have fed on.
Very little is known of the life history of this bird, and the causes that led to its extinction are not understood. Possibly it was a colonial nesting species and therefore particularly vulnerable. Perhaps never abundant, the colonies may have been raided systematically year after year by natives and fishermen who took the eggs for food, thus seriously interfering with normal reproduction. It is generally believed that its extinction was not the result of overshooting.

When did New Hampshire stop being part of New Enland? I think this should be changed to "New Jersey and New England" or to "New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine." Also, I can understand that the ducks might not have wintered off of New York State (Long Island) but is that true or did New York just get left out? 65.79.173.135 ( talk) 15:06, 20 November 2013 (UTC)Will in New Haven 65.79.173.135 ( talk) 15:06, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
