A Cackling Goose is currently visible on the lake at Hendrickson with a flock
of Canadas. It looks identical to one of the two Cacklers that were frequently
observed at this site last winter, with a very blocky head, white ring at the
base of the neck, and large, noticeably bright cheek patches.
I found a Richardson’s Cackling Goose on an evening walk at Hendrickson Park.
The bird was feeding within the fence by the handball courts on the
southwestern side of the lake. Overall goose numbers continue to increase
slowly but steadily.
Cheers!
