These are Black-bellied Tree Ducks. There is a flock of about 25 that are staying in a small lake behind my daughter's house.. You might say that I have my "ducks in a row"..
Sharp with enough d-o-f and three good head angles. The big shadow on the middle duck is a distraction. Pointing the lens down would have included the virtual feet of the duck on the right. The dark crud in the water behind the left-hand duck is also distracting. Nice pond to have!

Ditto Artie, and despite having three good HAs you would have had three great ones had the middle one turned a bit more. I'll bet you'll be taking advantage of that pond!!
I thought they were BB Whistling Ducks...or is Tree Duck another name for these?
