Bufflehead
Why did the scientist take out his doorbell?
He wanted to win the no-bell prize.
Interesting Fact: The oldest Bufflehead on record was at least 18 years and 8 months old. It was caught and re-released by a bird bander in New York in 1975. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bufflehead/lifehistory )
