I had shared this in another thread earlier in the year.  This was a fishing buddy I had one day.

I believe he is a Peruvian Pelican.  He froze to death a few days later.  F&G wanted him.  I imagine you'll see him in a mount at HQ one day.

They figured he was blown in during a storm and never found his way out.

This one flew right into the dump truck I was driving last year while heading west on I90. It is an unorthodox way of getting one but that was out of my control.
I would like to know what kind it is. Anyone know?
Sure made a loud bang when it hit!

Looks like a Hooded Merganser hen a relatively common duck in the Pacific North West although its hard to tell based on those two photos.

Are you sure "it flew right into the dump truck"?  That sounds a lot like "officer his face flew right into balled up fist".
