Observation details
Low-slung ducks, scooter shaped, mid-river floating down with current. Dark brown-plumaged birds, but one slightly more black than the other white marks on each at eye, check-mark shaped. No smudgy largish white patches anywhere on face or back of head. Thus my best guess was of young male white-winged scoters. Careful review of terrible digiscoped video suggests white secondaries slightly visible at one point, but otherwise white wing patches were not apparent. Head shape showed forehead concavity mentioned in Sibley.
