Male Wood Duck Reflected
The light was quite contrasty. I got low to get a better angle. These ducks are really used to being fed - they came in close when the food came out, but never as close as the Mallards. Species: Aix sponsa (Wood Duck)

This bird was fishing (diving) off the light house. I didn't see it come up with a fish in it's mouth - maybe it was after something smaller. Species: Mergus merganser (Common Merganser)

Ring Necked Duck
The classic, I thought it was one species, get home and check the guide books and find out I was totally wrong. Live and learn. Also, not great composition - try getting lower to the water and try to get the eye focused. Species: Aythya collaris (Ring-necked Duck)
