Chapter 4: Wildlife Conservation and Management
Waterfowl

Waterfowl are warm-blooded animals that live on or near water and include diving ducks and puddle ducks.

• Diving ducks live on lakes and deep ponds and dive for fish, crustaceans, and water plants. They run on top of the water to take off.
• Puddle ducks live on shallow ponds and marshes, where they eat seeds and grasses. They spring into the air to fly.
