When I first saw this black duck family (the ones sitting in the dead tree) on Friday, the ducklings were splashing around and diving under the water. They continued the behavior for some time, then took time out here to rest and preen. I don't think the ducklings were diving for food, but just for fun, as black ducks feed by dabbling (head down, bum up). That's a ring-necked duck pair resting in the water in the foreground.
