Re: [cobirds] Unknown Bird Flock (photo)

I have seen white pelicans (singles, but not flocks) during Christmas count week, so some occasionally hang out; possibly sick or injured, I imagine.

Yeah I believe you're right. I find a clearer image and they way the neck to head looks. I do believe these Snow Geese.

Not enough trailing black on the back of the wing.  They look like snow geese to me.

So I was hiking through Waterton Canyon when I noticed these flock. They image was heavily cropped so the quality is terrible but I am sure there are some experts that can tell by plumage pattern. The black tips and wide wingspan reminds me of American Pelican but I'd figure they were all gone by now.
