I think I've identified one of these two ducks, but I'm stumped about the other one. The one with the white "eye" around its eye is a female wood duck, I believe. But the one with the two white markings on its throat... ?

Both are Wood Ducks; the first is a female (black bill), the second an eclipse plumage male (red bill) :t:
