Types of Ducks!

These ducks will also nibble along the water's surface, and they feed readily on land as well, but they very rarely dive below the water. The most common dabbling duck species is the mallard, but the northern pintail, American wigeon, and different teals are also dabblers.    Diving Duck:  Diving ducks are agile swimmers that dive far beneath the surface of the water in search of food, including fish, insects, and aquatic plants.

Diving duck species include the scaups, goldeneyes, canvasback, and redhead.   Eider : These types of sea-ducks are found in very northern, Arctic habitats. Eiders are well known for their lush down and its spectacular insul...
