Chiloé Wigeons Are Dabbling Ducks

Some ducks fall in the dabbling catagory and others are diving ducks. The Chiloé Wigeons are dabblers. I looked up the definition: "A dabbling duck is a type of shallow water duck that feeds primarily along the surface of the water or by tipping headfirst into the water to graze on aquatic plants, vegetation and insects." These exotic probable escapees must have liked the dining here because they stayed all year long.
