What about Eider ducks?

Here's the discussion in question, for the record:

The DYK today says Bambolinetta is the only duck to swim with wings. How about the Common eider? (I'm no expert- maybe there's some reason the eider doesn't count.) See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7scI8F7Now&t=2m12s for some swimming eiders. Staecker (talk) 15:55, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Well, a new set of DYKs has been posted, but anyway: The source says that although the wings "assist diving" in some species, all other known ducks rely on their feet for propulsion underwater. —innotata 01:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
