Duck of Week: Dabbling Duck

“Dabblers” are ducks that tip up in order to feed, scrounging through shallow water and mud in search of plants and insects, and these ducks will also feed readily on land. The most common dabbling duck species is the mallard, but the northern pintail, American wigeon and different teals are also dabblers.

  4. Per wikipedia: the dabbling ducks are known to "gang rape" unwilling females. That cute speckled one there at the bottom, is a dabbling duck.
