Cackling Goose

Documentation photo. Recently classified as a unique species from the Canada Goose. Stubby neck and bill and squarish forehead are the markers. Call is higher pitched. Generally smaller as well but there is some overlap in size. See below for a side by side comparison of the two species.Large on blackwww.hardrain1.com
