They do not look like any wood ducks I've seen.

The wood ducks which Eve refers to are North American Wood Ducks, Aix sponsa. They are found all over the contiguous United States, I even have some which raise chicks on the creek behind my home. TPictured here are White-winged Wood Ducks, Cairina scutulata, which are native to Asia, where they are critically endangered.
