Hi Barbara, great shot! Your photo was used for the Eyes on Central PA photo mission, and you can read the post about how waterfowl can impact water quality here: http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/d/st...

My suggestions applies only to the first and third photo. The second seems to be a mallard with the "crested" breed as a parent.
