I don't think this is the same; different colour legs.

When in doubt, ask the experts at www.birdforum.net (external link) - those people can ID anything!

I have to agree with ED. Willet and Greater Yellowlegs. Not sure about the Duck.

The first duck is a mallard, the second is an American Black Duck Drake.

I agree with the ID for a Willet and Greater Yellowlegs.
