First-year buffleheads may join goldeneye flocks due to social learning, limited breeding success, or lack of established territories. Juvenile ducks often associate with other species during migration and wintering periods, benefiting from safety in numbers and shared foraging opportunities. These mixed-species flocks improve survival by reducing predation risk and enhancing access to food resources.
