I've "discovered" who these avian visitors are. They are Red-Crested Pochards (Netta Rufina), who are native to Southern Europe who have gone dramatically astray or, more likely they are escapees from one of our local zoos.
I might have over reacted a bit to my "discovery", to the extent of actually trying to telephone the local Audubon Society to report my finding. But, eventually, I found similar shots of these guys on Flickr.com from Arizona locations, so that I now suspect that they aren't visitors from southern Europe, but were probably born somewhere in the Southwest US.
