Puddle ducks jump straight up off water and are good for table while divers usually run and flap along the surface to get airborne are not good for table fare.
I know, I know I have many people tell me they eat merganzers, eiders and even buffies but with mallards pintails gadwalls etc available in large quantity in Alberta why would you want to??

I was talking to a du rep at the farmers market last week. He gave me lots of good info and some booklets but no poster unfortunately. I'll ask about it the next time I'm there.
Thanks for the info guys. I've tried to read as much as I can about water fowling but I'm still pretty green. Any advice is always appreciated.
