Hunters, naturalists, and bird enthusiasts in general will enjoy this booklet produced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The public domain book can be used in a variety of ways.
From the book:
Recognizing the species of ducks and geese can be rewarding to birdwatchers and hunters— and the ducks.
Hunters can contribute to their own sport by not firing at those species that are either protected or scarce, and needed as breeders to restore the flocks. It can add to their daily limit; when extra birds of certain species can be taken legally, hunters who know their ducks on the wing come out ahead.
Knowing a mallard from a merganser has another side: gourmets prefer a corn-fed mallard to the fish duck.
