What a pretty picture! It took me a few minutes to identify them, but according to the Audubon Field Guide, they are what is known as the Common Gallinule. Here is the link: http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/common-gallinule
He looks a wee bit strange Lowell, he has the head of a Coot and the body of a duck.. so this is what a Florida Duck looks like! Super capture of these two!

Beautiful ducks, and very different from what we see here.

Ducks just want to have fun. Nothing like warmth, and food, but they have to watch out for the gators.
Cool looking ducks. They don't look like any I've seen around here.
Beautiful and dreamy, Lowell!
When do Ducks not have fun?

Beautiful beaks on those ducks.
