They are ducks, specifically drake Mallards.  On the upper side of the
wing is a blue rectangle, the "speculum".  (Of course, you can't see
that it's blue in B&W.)  The speculum is bordered by a thin white
line, front and back.  The thin white ring around the neck is also
visible.

Here's a color shot for comparison (not mine):
