Photo of CLOSED: Need Help ... Carolina Wood Ducks

These photos were taken at the Albuquerque Zoo's duck pond last weekend. The pond has some exotic waterfowl, which are all banded. It also has quite a few wild ducks that make the pond their home either seasonally or year-round. The Carolina Wood Duck was listed as a wild year-round resident.

#1 - Between the sketches at the pond and my Sibley guild, I've identified this one as a Carolina Wood Duck (male, still in breeding plumage).
