While on my morning walk at Lake Oschwald, I heard a call that was not familiar
to me in the area. Looking up, I saw the sound came from a group of geese that
was circling the lake. The grouping was of about 25 geese, all of the same
species. These geese would call, and then there would be a much different
response call from the Canada Geese already on the lake. I knew these were
Cackling Geese - a species I had found only once before in Manitowoc County
(and that but a single individual years ago). These birds eventually landed on
the Village Pond, where I got great looks at them in contrast to the numerous
Canada. These Cackling were less sedate than the Canada. As I moved around
the pond, they eventually left, going west (perhaps to Collins Marsh). None of
the Canada left with them.
