Nice capture; that looks like a Tundra Swan rather than a Snow Goose, though. Snow Geese are MUCH smaller, have a shorter neck, pink feet/legs and their bills are a two-tone:

The swans are comparatively huge, have a nice, long neck, black feet/legs and their bills are black. Tundras have the yellow, eye patch that you can note if you look closely at the front of the eye there:

Good inflight Dave. When I was a kid growing up in North Dakota, we used to call these guys Swooses. Which meant that it was a goose you couldn't shoot because it was a swan.:-P:-P

Haha, where'd you live in North Dakota? We live about 20 Mile's from the line, do a lot of our shopping in Williston since we don't have to many stores here.
