Sea ducks are tough to find and they are expensive. I have been trying to get a pair of Old Squaw for a couple years. I do have a few divers. My divers are in this video.

It takes a couple years for Hoodeds to mature so I'll see what these end up looking like in the fall of 2024.

I had a Wood duck egg in the pool today. Yesterday I cleaned the other pond and there was 6 Khaki Campbell eggs in the bottom.
