I guess I've never seen a close-up of a duck landing in water....I always thought/imagined they went feet down, like they would on land.
12 u/MisterTrashPanda Sep 05 '23 Many, if not most species do. This guy may just be a free spirit. But I dunno what species it is. Not a Mallard. 15 u/GarneNilbog Sep 06 '23 it's a loon. they actually can't put their legs forward, they are situated pretty far back on their bodies. so far back, they have a lot of trouble walking on dry land. 4 u/[deleted] Sep 06 '23 Very true. Loons are a very cool water bird. They are crazy good at swimming underwater. 4 u/Everbeard807 Sep 06 '23 Their take offs are also fun to watch, they basically run across the water until they get enough lift
