Yes and likely northern Mexico.

I just hope a photobomb of another out of focus bird does not constitute a pair of birds. nobody said it was going to be that easy.

American widgeon.
I hope more posts include the name of the species (except when it's obvious).

Agreed, no photobombs. Not speaking for Bill of course, but I think some effort needs to be made to frame both birds in the shot and to get them in focus.
