There were three ALEUTIAN in one group of Canada Geese and a CACKLING GOOSE (probably the one I saw 01/19/05) in another group of Canada Geese. There were also 4 SNOW GEESE foraging together. One of the geese was larger than the others. His head was noticeably larger than the others - perhaps 25 % larger. Its neck was thicker and its bill was stouter. It just seemed bulkier overall. Its scapulars were smudged at the edges. Its head and neck were also smudged. I didn't have time until now to consider the differences. After looking at the Sibley Guide I am wondering if this is a Greater Snow Goose. Peggy Don _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
