Sorry the photos are trash, I was using 30x zoom on my phone lol
I believe the pair on the bottom are in the process of migration and are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufflehead
I believe the pair on top (one pair of at least 3 we saw) are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooded_merganser . We are right on the edge of their breeding range (north) and their year round range (south). I think I have seen them year round?
Yep! The top pics are hooded mergansers. The bottom two waterfowl are buffleheads. Very cool ducks!
Edit: Just finished up reading the wiki on the buffleheads and didn't know they there the smallest divers. Duckies are awesome.
Buffleheads have got to be the greatest bird name.
