I'm largely a duck dummy since all we have are mallards and woodies, so forgive me for sounding like an idiot here. But what are the first two ducks?
I think the first is a hooded merganser, but I don't remember them having brown wings. And the second is a bluebill? Don't believe I've ever seen one before?

Very cool pics JPN!
Anyone else notice the mooner in the last pic of the first batch of pics. Lol

Yep the first is a hooded merganser, the second is a coot I thought it was a bluebill at first too, and third is a widgeon
We mostly just have mallards and woodies here to but as soon as season goes out all kinds of different ones show up lol

Man I love widgeons. They're just cool looking birds. Woodies are awesome too. There's a lot of birds migrating back north now. In the last 2 weeks I've been seeing tons of divers coming through Central OH. Drove past a pond near Alum loaded with redheads & canvasbacks last week. I'd gladly give a week of hunting ducks in Octobers to have a bonus week in the first or second week of March. That seems to be about the time every year when the birds are coming through here.

I cant wait until I get my hooded merganser and Woodie back from the taxi. There arent "tons" mallards here in western washington. We shoot lots of wigeon, pintails, redheads and buffleheads.
