[TN-Bird] Cackling Geese - Shelby Co.

Feb. 24, 2007
Shelby Farms
Shelby Co, TN
 
I checked the geese this AM at Shelby Farms and located 2 groups of  Cackling 
Geese totaling 31 birds. The birds were feeding in the same field with  
Canada, Greater White-fronted and Snow Geese. The two groups of Cackling  fed 
in 
different areas of the field never coming together. I got a few  distant photos 
under the gray skies.
 
Mike Todd had 44 Cackling Geese at Britton Ford earlier this year  which is 
probably the high number for TN. These two groups gave me my  largest number 
for the state. Geese have been moving over the area heading north  all week.
 
Good Birding  !!!
