MOTTLED DUCK, EAGLE LAKES COMMUNITY PARK, NAPLES, FL

      These are two Mottled Ducks.  The duck on the left is "dabbling", that is, it's upending so that its bill can reach deeper.  Dabbling ducks rarely dive.  We can I.D. the duck on the right as a male Mottled Duck as follows:
  • Bright yellow bill
  • Black spot on gape
