	Approval Level*:	Moderator; Redheads are rare due to a lack of lakes and ponds in the forest, but they might stop occasionally for rest in the swamps and rivers during spring and fall migrations.
	Kill Difficulty:	Moderate; Redheads can deal a painful blow with their wings, and due to their large size have the potential to break bones or cause a concussion.
	Hunting Difficulty:	Specialty - Duck; Hunters must wait until their prey comes near to short or ashore, and Redheads can give an alarm call if startled.
	Food Quality:	High; Redheads are a very large and healthy meal for many cats.
