No, most ducks nest outside of the water on the banks. Ducks don't actually need swimming water at all, even thought it is more ethical for them to have it.

How do water birds like ducks and water animals like seals avoid getting waterlogged?
I'm not sure on the seals, but I know how ducks do it! Ducks have an oil gland. When they preen, they pinch the oil gland every few minutes. Then ducks spread the oil all over their feathers. This not only waterproofs the feathers, it keeps them in good condition. Ducks preen a few times a day. If I'm not mistaken, I think seals are waterproof in the fact that they have no fur. I think sea otters groom themselves with their paws. They also may have an oil that waterproofs them. Hope I've been a help! , Alice
