[va-bird] Where are all the female ducks?

We have some open water on our subdivision lake and have noticed that in the 
case of both Buffleheads and Ringnecks that there is a vast preponderance of 
males.  In the case of the Hooded Mergansers, the ratio is rather more equal 
but still some males in excess.

Is anybody else observing this?  Any explanation?
