Migrating Ducks in Ontario, Canada (1 Viewer)

These photos were taken this morning near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

I realize it is most likely impossible to ID these birds to species. But is there any chance to ID them to a genus? Like Aythya sp. or something else? Or are they better left at duck sp.?

Thanks!

They look like Aythya ducks of some sort (rather long necks, slim bodies and also that they seem to be flying quite high). I wouldn't want to be more specific. It may be that more than one species is involved.
