Nice series. Was that female mallard (right?) doing some white-water body rafting? - Terry

Thanks Terry, I am pretty sure she is a Bluewing Teal, there were 3 drakes and her feeding and frolicking together. I was lucky enough to spend about an hour observing them.

Those are mallards and I think they are young ones. Really hard to sex them at this time of year ;-)
