Periwinkle Snails

At first I was wondering why do ducks dive down the water and take about a minute or so for them to come back up. I knew there must be something there that they're eating and I didn't know what it was until one day when my family and I went for a walk during low tide. I can't believe how much snails are in there. I believe they are periwinkles but I might be wrong. There is also a lot of empty clam shells.  This place is a feeding grounds for ducks and for some other birds too. But this is also a bald eagle feeding grounds for ducks. Saw them Eagle diving down, catching and flying away with duck on their feet. Just amazing watching them take their prey.
