Amazing shot Raul! I was on Lake Toho in the spring and these are incredible birds.

Monte,
They take the snail out of the shell, the beak and talons are adapted for the task, as their main source of food are aquatic snails.

beautiful shot, especially the eye. Do they take the snail out of the shell or just eat the whole thing. Diving ducks will take clams and swallow shell and all.
