My wife called me to the window, "What are these diving ducks? There were about a half dozen Mallards close to shore, but further out were two more diving. Mallards don't dive with ease and grace of the true divers, but this pair was diving under for quite awhile, although measured in seconds, rather than minutes. "Could these be related to the family we had a few years ago?" A few years a go we had a hen and 9 young, 8 of which seemed to prefer to feed while diving, which we observed many times as we watched them grow.
