I tried to get a better sun angle to photograph this Greater White-Fronted Goose, but she got spooked before I could get a better sun angle. I did at least get this bird in flight photo that clearly shows the U-shaped white ring in her tail. The other birds I saw at this location were Northern Shovelers and Canada Geese. This was the only Greater White-Fronted Goose that I saw.

Good job of capturing the W-F Goose as it took off!
