This evening while working in the yard I observed a lone Cackling goose flying over the house with a flock of Canada geese. The goose was nearly half the size of the Canada geese it was flying with and had a noticeably shorter wingspan, but the best clue was the call note. The high pitch call of the goose was what originally drew my attention to the flock as it continued north and out of sight. The call was higher pitched and scratchier than the Canada goose calls. RQD to be submitted.
