14. Brant goose

Comment:
I think its the same Genus, different species as the Brant (Branta bernicla). Branta leucopsis or as hahn23 called it the Barnacle Goose. The Brant has a dark head with a white ring around the neck, and is somewhat common in the states. It is pretty cool to see the birds from other spots in the world! So similar but so different.

Nice, I can't seem to get one of these guys. Lots of them around but they don't like to stay still...

Nice. I didn't manage to get one of this bird at all... Every attempt the reeds ruined it.

Lucky you! I haven't been able to get very close to one yet, much less get one to pose for me.

Nice, close shot. This is the same way that I usually get them, backside swimming away and looking back...

Definitely a Horned Lark. Didn't know they went up that high, see them in the plains a lot.
