Here is treatment on the identification of Cackling vs. other small Canada geese. http://www.idahobirds.net/identification/white-cheeked/introduction.html I am not disputing the ID of some Cackling geese at Riverlands or elsewhere. Jim M and I had some "discussions" about those birds ourselves yesterday. (forgot to mention them in my post, but still not confident about my ID of some of the birds.) Just putting out some helpful info for those going out in the field. Good birding, Charlene Malone St. Louis co. __________________________________________________ ########################################################### * Audubon Society of Missouri's * * Wild Bird Discussion Forum * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To subscribe or unsubscribe, click here: * * https://po.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mobirds-l&A=1 * *---------------------------------------------------------* * To access the list archives, click here: * * http://po.missouri.edu/archives/mobirds-l.html * * * * To access the Audubon Society of Missouri Web * * Site: http://mobirds.org * ###########################################################
