My bad. The photo was slow to load, so I relied on the description, being
smaller than the nearby Cackling Geese when I validated it. I’ll fix it, and
write to the reporters.
Thanks for bringing it up,
Jeff

My thoughts exactly. And we saw what's presumably the same goose in the same
area today, and it was a Snow Goose.
Also, Red Phalarope isn't flagged for Marion but it probably should be.

I agree. Those are Dusky Canada Geese it is with, therefore body size is way
too large, bill is too large and the wrong shape, head oval, etc.

It's hard to see from the photo, but I'm not totally convinced about the ID.
I'd be interested in hearing other opinions.
Thanks,
