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.
