Bird was WAYYY off but nothing like I have seen in the sky around Missouri. I did get a few photos with the zoom, hopefully its enough to ID. Wingspan was 4-5 ft I think, hard to tell. Hoping the black on the wings and beak will be enough. Thanks!

Large white bird that size with black around the edges of the wings looks like an American White Pelican to me.
