Thanks for the comment - honestly I have never seen a female Wood Duck.
In other words I have to thank for the sharing of your knowledge

Today I went to a location where in the last few days few people reported Northern Harrier. Didn't see it. Instead I took few photos of Bristle-thighed Curlew.
Common in this season on that location (there where ~20-25 birds on that spot in the same time!). Very hot day (see the bird in the first photo!!!). I payed with ~1 (may be 2?) liters of sweat?
Note the odd background in the first photo (it's just a grass growing on sandy ground) below the bird: obviously the program (DxO 6) doesn't care about that part of the photo - every thing is washed out (or just looking very odd!!) by the heat diffraction. On that spot at the same season I always get this! In the second photo the bird is about 60-70cm above the ground and only ~15 meters away! Still not what I would expect from that distance!

In our area of the midwest USA, downy woodpeckers are most evident (in our front yard) in fall. I don't know why.
And this one was one of a few in and around our front-yard tree...I wouldn't say 'flock of woodpeckers' but it sort of seemed that way.

The audio portion of the Merlin ID app was useful in locating this particular Carolina Chickadee:
...these Chickadees are also more prevalent near our home in the fall each year.

Northern Mockingbird--this particular berry proved to be elusive (at least this time)
...these Northern Mockingbirds are among the most 'entertaining' birds that visit our neighborhood. At times they seem to be very patient in terms of their (lack of) movement, but the noises they generate! My oh my...
