They aren't what I imagine geese to look like, but it's a beautiful capture of this pair all the same.

I know nothing of your waterfowl. But I do have a field guide to the birds of north America - and I was just about to report that they seem to match Brant geese (down from their Arctic breeding grounds for the winter) .....Chris has beaten me to it.

Yes! Brant Geese. I'd looked at dozens of ducks for id, never thought they were geese!

My best guess is they are Brant Geese. Not uncommon along the shorelines this time of year.
