I can't say for sure but I don't think it was a scaup. I just got back from an evening hunt and observed them through binos for a while. They have a dark head and bill with white cheeks. Very similar to a Canada goose. They have black eyes and a dark back and wings. The wing has a small white patch on top and they seem to have grey/white underside and dark legs.

They are small ducks so it may be possible that they are juvenile maybe?
