| I saw this flock of birds briefly. There appear to be two distinct different species? Loons and Ruddy Ducks?

| The prominently white coat and longer necks birds appear to have left the flock. Only the Ruddy ducks here, perhaps?

| It looks like you may have Western Grebe (in the first photo) and Ruddy Duck. |

| Ruddy Ducks in all the pics, also two Horned Grebes in the first pic.
Western Grebe is much larger, longer-necked and slimmer-bodied.
