FEEDING
DIFFERENT DUCKS feed in different ways. This enables several species to coexist without competing for food. Dabbling ducks collect food near the surface, while dipping ducks reach deeper food by "upending". Diving ducks catch their food by swimming underwater.
DIPPING
A dipping duck "upends" to reach food in shallow water.
DABBLING

DIVING
