The Marbled Duck or Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris).

The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is a medium-sized diving duck of the genus Bucephala. Common goldeneyes are territorial and aggressive. They have elaborate courtship displays. The common goldeneye is named for its golden-yellow eye. Adult males have a dark greenish glossy head with a white circular patch below the eye. Their back is dark and they have a white belly and neck. Adult females have a gray body and brown head. Their legs and feet are orange-yellow. The breeding habitat of the common goldeneye is in the rivers and lakes of the boreal forest across northern North America and northern Russia. They nest in large tree cavities made by woodpeckers and from broken off limbs. They return to the same nests year after year. The goldeneye is a migratory waterfowl and spends the winter in the protected waters of the more temperate latitudes. Their diet is met by foraging underwater for crustaceans, aquatic insects, mollusks, fish eggs and aquatic plants. This female common goldeneye was photographed while swimming at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The Common Goldeneye, or simply Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula).

The Great-Tailed Grackle or Mexican Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) is a highly social North and South American medium-sized songbird. The males are glossy black and iridescent and the females are brown and drab colored. Although the grackle is black, it is not a blackbird. It is sometimes mistaken for a crow but is not a member of that family either. Great-tailed grackles originally came from the tropical lowlands of Central and South America but over the past 140 years have spread into North America. Grackles forage in pastures, wetlands and mangroves for a wide variety of food. They eat larvae, insects, nestlings, worms, tadpoles, fish and eggs. They remove parasites from cattle and eat fruits and grains. Grackles are highly intelligent birds that can solve complex problems to get food. The male grackle has a distinctive noisy call. They communally roost in trees at night and during the breeding season they build a nest in the trees. This female grackle was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
