While birding at Maloney Road Park in Knox County this afternoon, I observed a
very small (duck sized) Goose swimming south with a line of Canada Geese. I am
confident that this was not just a runt but was either a Cackling or
Richardson's. I saw it well through my scope but could not manage to get a
photo as it was just too far away for my pocket camera. The bird was about a
third the size of the Canadas, had a small bill and short neck. If not for its
plumage pattern I would have thought it was a duck. I just wanted to alert
anyone birding that area to keep a look out for it.
