Greater White-fronted Geese
I am really not good at hawk/raptor identification. :0 I'm trying to learn though.

Pelicans in the background surrounded by ducks!
And wow! Coming up to this tree from a distance down the road, I wondered what kind of big hawk this was. But it's not a hawk, it's a Bald Eagle!
Whenever I'm approaching a hawk, pheasant or unusual bird, I take a photo every few feet as I creep forward just in case the target of my lens decides he doesn't like it!
This guy didn't care about me one whit. I even got photos from the other side of the tree but you couldn't see him as well. I sat and watched him chill for about 20 minutes.
Then he startled me by deciding he wanted to cause a little bit of mayhem in the local duck population. I was lucky enough to catch a fairly decent photo of him winging his way leisurely and, if you look closely in the lower right corner, you can see he startled the ducks as well!
And, believe it not, this wasn't my last eagle of the day! Stay tuned!
