Ahem, is that all I get? A lower-case "wrong" with no period?

Fine then, add Redhead, and Mallard to my answer.

All good guesses, but all are incorrect; you have the right idea though.

Northern Shoveler, Green-winged Teal, Blue-winged teal, and Northern Pintail.

Why do I get the feeling I've seen this pond before?

Trying to rack my brain to see what else was there when I visited. Only other I remember are Mallard, Black Ducks, and a huge DC Cormorant. So Mallard, Shoveler, both teal, and pintail?!

I can not find a Mallard in the group of ducks in the previous quiz? The duck on the far right would be a candidate, I suppose, but is too small!

They really aren't too small when you include the fact that they are so far back, and the answer for the next quiz isn't correct.
