October 18th: These are wood ducks. The male is the colourful one at the top of the log, followed by his mate, and then a bunch of females, possibly daughters. Down at the bottom of the log there is a duck with an orange bill - that is a juvenile male. Next season he may grow his full colours and be ready to wow the females with his dashing good looks. For now, alpha male gets the best place on the log.
