I suspect that the front half of the "bill" in the first shot is actually
not part of the bill but part of a wave on the water. Note the light halo
above that part of the bill (and not above the rest of it) which is an artifact
of having sharpened this image and something the other waves share. If I am ri
ght, identifying this bird will be easier if we ignore that part.

The birds in the second image appear to be Western/Clark's Grebes (or
whatever we are going to call them after assessing the dna results)
