The first photo shows an adult male (left) and adult female (right) Wood Duck on a log in a pond. The male is in eclipse plumage (nonbreeding plumage). On the wing of the female you can see the "speculum" patch of blue with a white tip. The second photo show the same male Wood Duck in the water.
The third photo shows another adult female Wood Duck. The last photo shows a juvenile Wood Duck starting to molt into adult male plumage.
