A goose does make more sense, since the geese sitting there do not seem
disturbed... I have looked at the photo over and over. I did notice the
"elbows" of whatever it is are pointing forward. Earlier in the day I was at
Baskett Slough and I took a photo of some geese flying, their "elbows" seem to
point forward in the direction of flight.

I believe the bird in question is flying toward the camera.

That is what I thought as well.
The wings look more like a goose also. Pat Truhn
