I am fairly sure this is a WHCN for the following reasons: Massive Size (Photo 2) Black primaries not extending to trailing edge of wing. (Both Photos) Bright white color observed and photographed (Both Photos). Apparent extensive red on cheek, below eye. Up to 3 were observed.

This family group (two adults, one juvenile) of Whoopers was discovered by Chuck Sexton Feb. 18, 2014 at Granger Lake, Williamson Co., Texas, about 25 miles north of Austin. I went out there with Chuck this morning to try to get some images since one of the adults was color banded and we wanted to be able to provide USFWS with the band information for possible individual recognition. We could get no closer than perhaps 1/3 of a mile from the birds but with 1000 mm of telephoto I got some useable images. A few years ago several Whoopers, perhaps some of these same birds, spend much of the winter at this same location.

These two Whoopers were spotted from the side of Hwy 35 in Aransas Co., where they were visiting a corn feeder set out for deer. This is something that is becoming more common to see whereas 10+ years ago these birds rarely, if ever, left the coastal marshes. The population increase in the species may be causing some of the birds to investigate new foraging opportunities.
