Weir Dam
Sullivan Co., TN
.
This afternoon there were 61 Canada Goose and one Lesser Canada Goose. I
found the flotilla from the riverside parking area upstream from the weir.
The smaller goose was about half the size of the others. A good field mark
was the beak being about 1/3 the length of the head. The breast appeared to be
a
shade darker gray than the larger counterparts. There was no noticeable
"notch" at the apex of the white facial patch.
This could have been a "Richardson's" as described by the Sibley's Guide, but
I am not certain how to extinguish the two!
