I can confirm everything but the last picture. I agree on scaup for the right two birds (Greater?), but left could be another scaup or even Surf Scoter.

...but left could be another scaup or even Surf Scoter.

Looks like surf scoter based on bill shape

Agree with all. Last picture bird on the left is a surf scoter, birds on the right are scaup sp.
