Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This study compared the trade-off between foraging and vigilance of mallard and green-winged teal. Mallard and green-winged teal were chosen for this study due to their similarity as dabbling ducks and their differences in morphology. Balancing the tradeoff between vigilance and foraging is crucial for spring migrating waterfowl who need excess energy reserves to successfully migrate.
