They are Eiders. The white ones are males, sometimes they travel separately. They are coming from Ten Pound Island where the young were maturing. A group 1/4 this size spend time at The Draw Bridge diving for mussels. They are comical because if one in the group dives they all dive immediately head first. They stay down for quite a few minutes and all come up at the same time. Not down as long as a Cormorants who have to chase fish.
