CLOSED: Cold Duckies

As I've mentioned, Christmas day was unusually cold on the Central coast. I got photos of these shivering birds, and am requesting a possible ID. Thank you all for your help.

These look like Ruddy Ducks to me. I hope you get to see the males in breeding plumage sometime. He's really neat with a blue bill and white face.

We saw a lot of sleeping ducks yesterday... terrible to identify at tiny speck in a scope distance. Your birds were much closer.

Yep, Ruddy Ducks; a mix of winter-plumage males and females.

Again, thanks for your input. Such fun this is!
