The "Dabbling Duck" refers to a group of ducks that feed primarily by tipping forward in the water, allowing their heads to submerge while their tails remain above the surface. This behavior is different from diving ducks, which dive underwater to find food. Dabbling ducks are commonly found in freshwater and coastal habitats, where they forage for aquatic plants, seeds, and small invertebrates. Common species of dabbling ducks include the Mallard, Northern Pintail, and American Black Duck. These ducks are known for their vibrant plumage and distinctive calls. They are often seen in groups and are popular among birdwatchers and hunters alike due to their accessibility and varied habitats.
