I just saw my first flock of Snow geese for the year. Roughly 300 of them. Is this a bit early for them?

I believe I can tell the difference between a pelican and a snow goose.

From a distance they are similiar ....both are white and have the black speculum on wings
Flight formation and habits are different
I saw a big flock of Pelicans last week heading south over by KC.

a couple eagles were by our house yesterday, had not seen any all summer

Been seeing large flocks of pelicans this weekend. Very easy to confuse for snows. They even “swarm” like snows. Not uncommon at all to confuse them for snows. :wave1:

Since I'm a deer hunter and have very little experience in goose or duck hunting what I saw may have well been Specks but I've seen pelicans flying before and these I saw were not pelicans.

I was just telling you my experience not saying you were mistaken
