Thanks Donna. I cropped in closer to the pintail - pin isn't developed yet, but you can see the white streaks on the head clearly. Not sure about which one might be scaup.

Resin, Thanks. I looked and don't have that bird with bill out of water. I was way off on 2 and 3. Shorebirds are still a mystery to me.

On the closer crop, is the one I marked the one you are calling the Redhead hen?

That brings up another question ... What is the duck in photos 2 and 3 here. Same duck flying and landing.
