I noticed recently that we have some type of swimming duck in our pond. I have tried to identify it online but have been unable to do that yet..

The "thing" has a white head with a bill and swims very fast underwater. It comes up for air much like a turtle does.. just a bit of his head is out of the water then he disappears again...

I am certain he is eating my fish..

What is this critter and how do I get rid of it?


Thanks in advance!
