[Maine-birds] need ID help

Hi Maine birders,  I need some help. I posted photos taken from the Otter Point Overlook in Acadia National park on 26 Feb.  After I'd looked in Crossley ID Guide I decided that, although they are sea ducks with sloping bills, they are Surf Scoters. So, I put them on ebird with the best one of the terrible photos, and on iNaturalist as well. 

  I don't get feedback from ebird unless I do something truly absurd, but iNat is very responsive and almost immediately I have a message saying that the bird I thought was a 1st year male Surf Scoter is an Eider. This is certainly possible, I saw male and female Common Eiders  the day before at Thunder Hole and I see them much more often than Scoters. If anyone is interested in giving me a proper ID before I correct my postings, I will be grateful. Thanks very much, Carol
