I found this pair of ducks at the waterfront not far from the family of geese in the other post. Quite a difference in the male/female colouring.

cool. Actually they're mergansers, not ducks. I forget which kind though. I've never been able to get so close.

They are Hooded mergansers second smallest of the duck family. Its great you got so close they usually take off before a click of the shutter.

Very nice pics of the "Red-breasted Mergansers" Aub.
Hoodies have similar colouring, but also very distinct differences. Most striking is black bill on Hoodie, vs orange on Red-breasted.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
