"The white-cheeked goose complex is complicated and is still a long way from
being well understood. The potential for hybridization also further complicates
matters but I think this reiterates the importance for us to look carefully and
cautiously at suspect Cackling Geese and to thoroughly document these birds
when the opportunity presents itself."
I agree with the above statement and reiterate that reports of such candidates
be shared with the birding community as promptly as possible to encourage
others to get involved with such studies.
Cheers,
