Mallards Anas platyrhynchos
These Mallards are our prototypical duck that feeds by tipping bottom up in the air, and eating vegetation under water in shallow places. Our ducks that feed in this fashion, most in the genus Anas, are often referred to as either dabbling ducks, or as tipping ducks. Which name do you think is most descriptive and interesting.

Good birding. Steem on!
Could be called dipping ducks! Works for me. 🐓🐓
In my opinion| dabbling duck| is more descriptive and fit word because the way she eats food,beak into water and back, up and out of water ,dabbling describes well.I find it interesting.These ducks are naughty ducks.
hilarious :D great moment! :D glad you captured it!!
great shot and love the title!
I feel "dabbling" best describes the process of having to duck into the water for food while leaving their butts out there on the surface; i find this extremely interesting.....
Much love @joyart 💗💗
Your picture reminds me of my childhood. Because in this childhood, I saw this scene in any village pond. Thank you @birdbanter
