    Duck Identification in Round Valley Reservoir, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, USA - Photos taken on 10/27/24

    I was photographing some waterbirds far off on the water and saw some classic ducks like mallards and Canada geese but was not sure what some of the others were. Can anyone help me ID these waterfowl? I will list some images of them below.

    We thought we were doing a good deed: the local family was escorting their chicks across the street, which they do often but it's on a dangerous curve. My other half got out of the car to help with traffic, but then dad wound up chasing him back to the car. This was the view from the window. 🤣...

    Hooded mergansers

    Another first for me! Another birder familiar with them told me these rarely come near shore, so I've never noticed them until now, even with the amount of hiking we do at the preserve.

This walk resulted in a discussion over the strength of geese and how badly they'd beat us in a fight, and I recalled reading about the structural integrity of their throats, making them near impossible to strangle. I...
