Dabbling duck



*''Pteronetta'' *''Cairina'' *''aix (genus)'' *''Lophonetta'' *''Nettapus'' *''Salvadorina'' *''Anas'' *''Callonetta'' *''Chenonetta'' *''Amazonetta'' See also Diving duck The dabbling ducks are a group of ten genera and about 55 species of ducks, including some of the most familiar Northern Hemisphere species. They are in the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae. The latter article should be referred to for an overview of this very large family. The dabbling ducks, together with the diving ducks make up the sub-family ''Anatinae''. This group of ducks is so named because its members feed mainly on vegetable matter by upending on the water surface, or grazing, and only rarely dive. These are mostly gregarious ducks of freshwater or estuaries. These birds are strong fliers and northern species are highly bird migration. Compared to other types of duck, their legs are placed more towards the centre of their bodies. They walk well on land, and some species feed terrestrially. The Marbled Duck ''Marmaronetta angustirostris'', which used to be included among the dabbling ducks, is now classed as a diving duck. Anatinae

Pic is now repaired and placed into the taxobox on Falcated Duck. Thanks MPF for telling me about the problem - User:Arpingstone 08:57, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Anas diazi == ''Anas diazi'' is a species or a subspecies of the species ''Anas platyrhynchos''? I think that is a species. Results of Google search: "Anas diazi" = 1.270 results
"Anas platyrhynchos" = 164 results User:Mario and Dario 15:32, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC) :''Wildfowl'' by Madge and Burn, ISBN 0-7470-2201-1 says that Mexican Duck was formerly considered a good species, but hybridisation with Mallard has introduced genes from that species into ''diazi'', and the taxonomic status is consequently compromised.
