I'm interested in the bird in the foreground of your photo - how it has that tuft of fur behind it's head. One of the ducks at my local pond has that same feature. I'm not sure what kind of duck it is.

It's called a crested duck. It's a form of domestic mallard. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/Crest/BRKCrestedDucks.html
