I (finally) saw the two cackling geese today @ Sevier Lake in Shelby Park, Nashville, Davidson Co., that had been reported long before this! They were among mallards, muscovy, Canada goose, coots, and the lone snow goose. About 30 ring-billed gulls and 1 pied-billed grebe were also present, but the female hooded merganser I'd reported yesterday was not. I wish I had a Canada goose in frame in one of the photos to give scale, but no luck.
