I imagine the legal status of eastern Harlequin Ducks is regularly mentioned in hunter education courses run by the wildlife management agencies in the various states and provinces. In 1990 the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) listed the entire eastern population of Harlequin Ducks as endangered. Hunting Bans followed in Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime Provinces and the eastern United States.
