ImageImage Mystery solved , Blue Heron seems to be the water fowl in earlier shot. I went back this morning and sure enough Heron was stil hanging around the Geese . My guess they stir up small fish that the Heron can feast on . I had to use a tree to block my approach to shoreline but as soon as the Heron saw me he was off and the Geese could care less ! Thanks everyone for comments and interest . Dan

iNaturalist stopped at genus small ground doves
but I think that is an Inca Dove.
A protected species and not a game bird here in Texas.
