great shots Petcal. Nice DOF. Love those species Always struck me as the same duck with different paint trim. Call the redhead a cherry headed scaup.

2 unknown ducks to me, but nice lookers Peter. I've never really taken many pics of ducks, maybe I should this next season for a change.

I was thinking greater scaup because the black on the bill extends beyond the nail but I can only be positive if the wings were open.

Thanks! I fired that round too quick! It is a hen Greater Scaup = rounded crown vs. "pointed", wide bill vs. thin and the white patch is a little larger. My apologies all!
