What is the difference between a diving duck and a dabbling duck?
A diving duck will dive underwater to feed. A puddler, or dabbling duck, will only put its upper half of its body under water. They ''tip up.'' However, when wounded, a dabbler will dive under water and grab any vegetation it can find. It will not let go even after it expires. Dabbling ducks live mainly in the mainland flyways while divers prefer the coastal flyways and great lakes.

Do ducks eat ants as part of their diet?
How they hunt for food ? The duck's mouth is called a "bill". Normally, it is broad and flat and has rows of fine notches along the edge called "lamellae". The lamellae helps the duck to grip its food so that it will not slip off. However, ducks bills come in different shapes and sizes. The shape of the bill and body features will determine how the duck hunt for its food. Ducks which have broad beaks, sift their food for insects, snails and seeds from the mud. These are called the shovelers. The Northern Shoveler is an example. Female Northern Shoveler Male Northern Shoveler Some ducks have long and narrow beaks. The narrow beaks are also covered will saw-like edges which help them to grab fish. Sea ducks usually have this kind of beak. Sea ducks are also divers. Examples are the Mergansers, Eiders, Harlequins, Goldeneyes and Buffleheads. Some ducks do not dive for food. Their beaks are broad and short. They are called dabbling ducks or dabblers. They eat plants, seeds, grasses and other small insects and animals that they find on or under the water. Usually they up-ends and stretch their heads into the water to reach their food. Dabblers usually have shiny colored patches on their wings. The domestic ducks are dabblers too. They are descendents of the Mallards. Dabbling ducks take off from the water in quick jumps. Examples of dabbling ducks are the mallards, cinnamon teals, shovellers, green and blue-winged teals, pintails, black ducks, baldpates and gadwalls. For ducks with long necks, they dive their head down into the shallow water and pick up their food.

Diving and swimming underwater is very normal behavior for a 2 month old duck. Ducks dive in the wild to get food (pondweed, minnows, snails etc.).

This actually strengthens their swimming skills and is a sign of a healthy duck.
