Good picture. I notice that the male on the right doesn't have a white ring around his neck, and it looks like his whole head and neck aren't green like a mallard usually is. I wonder if it's not a hybrid mallard and a black duck (or something similar).
Not quite sure if it's a hybrid but may be. I do know there are a lot of black ducks in my area...even got a a few black ducks that take up residence in one of my trees each year on a regular basis.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
