So, today near the flotilla of Wigeons,(on our private beach S. of the Des Moines Marina & Anthony's) there were three other little ducks floating along that I could not get a very good id of. They looked mainly black and dark brown, with patches of white on the front of their faces and the side of their heads. One looked like it might even have a white ring at the base of it's neck. It reminded me of a Harlequin duck...but at that distance.... not so sure! I took as many pictures as I could with as much zoom as I could..... and have posted them here in this Flickr Bird ID help set.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance....
