Today I found and photographed the Cackling Goose at Shelby Park. Since this
is the first one I've seen I'm still not certain on field marks that
identify this as being a cackling vs. other small Canada geese. One goose was
dramatically smaller than the others, so I assume I got the correct one. Going
by
size alone this one seemed to qualify as cackling, but on head shape and
breast color/tone I'm not so sure, the head shape looked different in
different
light situations. ...see photos starting at:

Any helpful pointers would be appreciated.
This afternoon the two Whooping Cranes were in the same location on Cleese
Ferry Road.
