Also called the dipping duck. Part of the tribe Anatini. They don’t often dive, as many a duck does, but rather…dip instead, tipping rather bottomside up. Undignified, I suppose, but it gets the job done. And oh, their flapping sound…quite noisy.
Also noteworthy is the dabbling hen’s propensity for laying her eggs in the nest of other birds, either fellow dabblers or other species entirely. Smart, or lazy, you decide.
My money’s always on the lazy.
