CLOSED: Ducks...Very BAD Pics!

I know the three are Mallards...what is the little one on the left?

I know there are mallards, a coot, maybe a grebe..not sure on that. Anything else in there to add to my list??

1st photo - the "little one on the left" is a scaup; whether greater or lesser, I couldn't say.

In the second photo, I can make out a pair of mallards, a scaup drake, a canvasback drake, a coot; are you thinking the one in the lower right is a grebe? I can't tell - it may be a female scaup?

Yeah..that I wasn't sure if it might be a scaup or a grebe.

Now which is the Canvasback drake? Is that the one with white back dark head on the left? I know very, very little about waterfoul! lol

Thank you, the Canvasback is new to me!

The one in flight in the first pic, I'd say Lesser Scaup.

Canvasback is the one looking left on the 2nd pic, with a long, pointed bill, reddish-brown head, and pale grey body (nearly, but not quite, white). Also in the pic, a pair of Lesser Scaup, either side of the Mallard pair; an American Coot; and (furthest back) probably 2 more Lesser Scaup. Sorry, no grebes.

I agree with Resin.
