Different sources claim different things. For instance this site claims the red-breasted merganser. http://www.birding.com/BirdRecords1.htm
The Canvasback Duck is very fast in flight. You have to discern flight vs/ stooping(diving) as well as tail winds vs head winds.

For longer distances, I remember reading geese were fast fliers.
