My bad! Chris Decker corrected my initial report of White-winged Scoters -
they are Surf Scoters! Here are the looooong away shots zoomed in on the
computer to validate:

Sorry for the hasty report. I have only been seeing White-winged this
winter and was not being careful.
I did see three Common Loons (FOS for me) and one Red-necked Grebe along
with several other species of ducks and nice terrestrials on the way from
the car to the top of the dike.
