Well I'm fairly certain it is a Tundra Swam. Imaged flying near/over Lake Mattamuskeet NC
but there are also Snow Geese in the areas....this doesn't look like images of Snow Geese I have found.
Regardless, my first and this is a big bird!

Definitely a swan, the slope of the head looks like a Trumpeter Swan, not seeing yellow point below and in front of eye which would be indicative of the Tundra Swan.

Ehh well maybe Trumpeter as the black goes right up to the eye. Tundra has more white at the eye but a bit difficult to make certain from this angle
None the less a beautiful IF shot!

this probably wont help for ID, too far away but the same 'crowd' of birds as the one imaged above...I've got more (several hundred), maybe I can find one with better identifiers-

Thanks Karl. We were just glad to find them and get semi close.

Nice. Those are tundra in the two later posts. They have that little yellow mark in front of the eye.

I agree with Geoff. They have that "tundra" look also.

Tundras they are then. Thanks to all for the ID and comments.
Next month I hope to add Sandhills to my album of big birds.
