At first I thought Cinnamon Teal but the beal is a different color and so are the feathers...then thought a Redhead but beal and the feathers colors are a bit different than what the book shows but it's head looks the same...possibly the difference is due to the season. So I am thinking Redhead. Let me know what you'll think.
Thanks

Next one I 1st thought Canvasback because of the eyes and color of head feathers...but again the feathers colors on the body are different that what my book shows...but could be the season.
Again thanks

Nice Shots! The first one is a Red-crested Pochard, the 2nd pic I could not match up, or was not in my field guide this bird had lots of traits of some different (ducks) but the small mass between the eyes at the top of the bill, I could not see on any species in my FG.
Ditto to Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina for the first. Native to southern Europe and SW Asia
Second is a Rosybill Netta peposaca, native to South America
Both are popular in zoos and often escape.

Thanks Resin and Burd
I dunno… that first one looks like the Donald Trump Duck. ;-)
