Reports are that the Whoopers are still in west Davidson County as of = today (Friday). While I was viewing the birds on Thursday, I had scanned = the Canada Geese and picked up 2-3 Cackling Geese. I have no experience = with them and needed to get experts (thanks guys) to look at my pictures = and help me confirm them before I sent out a note about their presence at = the site. I also had a couple Geater-white Fronted Geese in with the = Canada's and Cackling Geese yesterday as well. Three rarities in the = Nashville area in one spot!
