Hi:
On a quick visit to Stewart Park this morning I spotted five waterfowl
near the east shore. I'm confused because I don't know what they are!
They seem to be the size of a Brant. Their plumage varies considerably.
One looks a bit like a pintail. Another is almost completely black with
a small white breast patch. Yet another is uniformly gray. The others
have a very dark head, with a buffy body.
I suspect they are some kind of domestic variant, but I don't know for sure.
I had little time, so all I was able to do was to grab some shaky video:

Enjoy!
