Can't believe no one has said widgeon!! When you hear that whistle and see them make that final circle...that's my favorite by far!
We mostly have wood ducks here, but I don't think I've ever shot one over a decoy. I just hunt where they eat and hide good.
Divers decoy great, but sometimes they make me seriously question their intelligence. I think I could set out two long lines of old tennis shoes floating on top of the water and they would come from miles to land there.
Mallards are great too, but cotton tops are my favorite
Gotta live up to the nickname...

Black Ducks!, Learned on them and specialize on them, Everything else fell off the IQ truck, lol Too many with Rice Breast on BD's around here, and yeah I know it won't hurt eating them. :-(

If your targeting just black ducks is there any tricks to setting up a decoy spread or on calling ? Actually, there is a "routine" Black Duck setup. BD's are generally anti-social and group in pairs. 5 >7 dekes in an open area ( in pairs or 3) is more productive than a large spread such as other species. Space them apart!

You can say that again SJA.
Too bad we don’t have waterfowl on the Delmarva Peninsula. Yup! ducks are getting real scarce on the Delmarva ISLAND
