Gadwalls

From Great River and Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuges:




Gadwalls, which are currently using the refuge, are dabbling ducks—they ride fairly high in the water and they tip forward to graze on submerged plants that they can reach with their outstretched necks. They rarely dive. (Excerpt from AllAboutBirds.org)
