To follow up...
It took me 15 minutes to find a hatchery that sells Cackling Geese
chicks by the half dozen. Given that all but one of the recent
flurry of Cackler sightings have been on farm ponds, I would repeat
that these birds should be photographed, and add that they should be
identified to subspecies as carefully as possible before they might
be considered wild birds. The Cacklers I found for sale appeared to
be the "true" (i.e. original narrow sense) Cackling Goose, which is a
considerably smaller and darker bird than the Richardson's
(hutchinsii) subspecies we get as wild birds here.
