Folks- I put pics of the interesting & recently oft-discussed Stearns
Lake (Boulder County) geese on my blog, along with some of my comments
and those of Steve Mlodinow and Tony Leukering.

On a related note, there is an outstanding, comprehensive article that
should be considered a must-read for anyone interested in small white-
cheeked geese in the latest North American Birds (Vol 62: No.3) titled
Distribution and Identification of Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii)
Subspecies. The article also treats lesser Canada Goose (parvipes
ssp.) due to its similarity to Richardson's and Taverner's Cackling
Goose. The scope of the article is impressive, covering 14 full
journal pages with 18 figures, a (great!) map showing breeding and
wintering ranges for each significant population, and 3 pages of
citations. Larry Semo and Tony Leukering are among the distinguished
authors- nicely done, guys!!
Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont
