I agree with 1-3, and in 4 I see American Wigeons and Redheads. But wait for someone else who actually knows waterbirds to
confirm them
EDIT: Checked Whatbird, and those ducks are definitely American Wigeons and Redheads.

sdearth...I don't think so. I discovered these in the background of a picture of a spoonbill. We did see black-bellied whistling ducks on this trip. They caught us off guard. We had never seen ducks in trees before.

I've seen Wood Ducks in trees before. We were at Bombay Hook NWR and there was a sign that said "Wood Ducks: LOOK UP". And guess what was staring down at us?We had never seen ducks in trees before.

Whistling ducks used to be called tree ducks - black-bellied tree ducks.

Agree with this. No Wood Duck... it is a female Redhead that is on the far left and there is in fact a male Northern Pintail in there as well.
