aquatic birds
Ducks and geese
Aquatic birds are birds adapted to life in or around water—swimming, diving, wading, or feeding in aquatic environments.
The category includes ducks, geese, swans, herons, pelicans, penguins, and many others.
Some swim on the surface, others dive for fish, and still others wade in shallows.
The lake attracts aquatic birds year-round.
