Another Dabbler dabbling with diving
A group of Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) somewhat uncharacteristically diving to feed.
Very fun to watch a dabbler dive.Even more fun to watch several.
Sources i have found so far comment that this is an uncommonly observed behaviour.
somehow that makes it all the more entertaining….

PS these Shovelers began to join in here in this case.
In the case shown of GWTE shown further along in the photostream,although there were other Green Winged Teal feeding in the reservioir,none others were ever seen dive feeding.
Only ever the one that i ever saw,although i saw it using that feeding style several times.
I presume it was the same one each time.
