It was sunny here this afternoon so I decided to try again to find a Cackling Goose. I succeeded because I've spent a lot of time search and because I dared to drive down the muddy towpath which is also full of potholes.Notes: The Cackling Goose was much smaller than the Canada Geese and it had a very small bill. Its chest was darker than the Canada Goose. When I looked at some photos I saw 2 smaller geese and one had a lighter breast so I think there were 2 Cackling Geese. Number of species: 19
