 so far this is all I found on Harlequins ,, but leaves me to believe they
are protected,,,    that guy that hsot it needs to be informed , here is
what I found
 One of our rarer ducks - only a few are found each year. Not only that, but
they are striking in appearance and interesting in behavior. However, most
harlequins seen in Ohio are females or subadults, not the spectacular adult
males. This is now one of the rarest ducks in northeastern Canada and the
population is only about 1,500 birds.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] East 72nd Street, Harlequin Duck


The female Harlequin Duck was taken this morning by a duck
hunter set up to the west of the bridge at E 72nd Street.

He shot the duck after it landed amongst his Mallard decoy spread.
Where is the sport in shooting a swimming duck?  I wonder what is
the bag limit on Harlequin Ducks in Ohio?  It had landed probably
thirty feet from his boat, the hunter surely was able to see that
it was something out of the ordinary.
