I floated my carvings of a Northern Pintail pair in Hawrelak Park here in Edmonton today.
I added weighted keels to their hulls below the water line to keep them upright and level while they floated. I attached lines to the keels, anchored the lines to the shore edge, and pushed them out from the shore to get some shots.
I also posted individual shots of the hen and drake in the water.

They may not be the most colorful duck in the world but to my eye, male Northern Pintails are the most elegant. Seen on the bay front in Lamar, Texas.

(Mergus Merganser & Anas acuta) It's not often you see these two in the same shot - in fact it's the first time I've seen a pintail in the wild in the UK!

Like all dabbling ducks, pintails feed at the surface rather than diving for their food. They eat plant food when dabbling, but will supplement their diet with insects and molluscs in the breeding season.
These guys were on a feeding frenzy but this one paused to relocate a step or two. The pintails are one of my favorite wintering ducks.

Northern Pintails dabble on the surface of the water and filter out seeds and insects with their bills. They also waddle at the edges of wetlands and through agricultural fields feeding on grain and insects. They form large groups and readily associate with other ducks during the nonbreeding season.
Northern Pintails nest in seasonal wetlands, croplands, grasslands, wet meadows, and shortgrass prairies. They forage in nearby shallow wetlands, lakes, and ponds. They spend the nonbreeding season in wetlands, ponds, lakes, bays, tidal marshes, and flooded agricultural fields.
