Do any other ducks follow sloughs and creeks like wood ducks do?

Grey ducks love sloughs if the can get in them.

Eta: I wouldn't say the "follow them" if you mean like a pass shooting type deal.

I have killed Gadwalls in an old river but they worked where they are going and did not really follow the river.
I had scouted and found them in one curve of the river.

I have always only had woodies behind my house, but last year in my pond ,which is wide open now, there was a single gray duck hen. That's the first time I've ever seen anything other than woodies.

Not really related but I have killed grey ducks in gravel pits off of the Amite River in Denham Springs. Always shot woodies back there and then had a few lost big ducks.

I've seen green wings do it.

I've never hunted ducks, but I'll say that I'll bet most ducks do this. It's an evolutionary thing. When airborne, a duck's only real predator (besides a guy with a shotgun) is falcons and hawks. If one is around, ducks will immediately dump into the water, or, if they're already there, hold tight and refuse to budge. Falcons can't get them out of the water, and hawks such as goshawks can't either, unless they're close to a bank. Ducks do the opposite if a large eagle is around. They out-fly those.
