I am 95% sure these are Greater Scaup due to the front and side head profiles, the greater amount of white at the base of the beak on the females, the relative beak size and the fact that Greater Scaup are common in this area while Lesser Scaup are rare. If anyone can positively confirm or deny this identification, please let me know. Thanks.
