Female Gadwall

Gadwalls are dabbling ducks which means they eat food right under the surface of the water in a position that leaves only their butts showing above the water. Diving ducks dive to the bottom to get their food. Funny thing I just learned is that gadwalls will wait at the surface and steal the fish when a diving duck surfaces with a catch.
