a white-tailed kite hovering... or so I assume:

 

two canvasbacks, right?:

 

...and I think these are green-winged teals.

There were lots of those teals there.  Here are some more shots that I think are them:

 

...wait a minute, is that last one a blue-winged teal?

I can confirm White-tailed Kite (white tail, black shoulder visible as well) and those Canvasbacks with their sloping heads, and your Green-winged Teals, but I believe the duck coming in for a landing (same duck in both pics, right?) is a Northern Shoveler.

There were plenty of shovelers there... I guess the last one landing must be a shoveler.  But they're not the same duck, so I'm not sure about the second to last picture.  Yeah, that's probably a shoveler too.

I agree
