This subspecies of Cackling Goose was New for me. The Most Abundant bird in the wetlands this day. Donna Pomeroy @dpom & her husband Doug are fantastic teachers.

Two tiny geese, smaller than a female mallard were at the Lake Gladewater Dam area this morning. The rounded head, dark breast and size are indicative of Branta minima. It's my understanding that there are no records of this subspecies this far east. A discussion of Cackling Geese can be found at http://www.utahbirds.org/RecCom/IDhelp/Cackling_Goose-NAB.pdf The second goose appears to be a hybrid Ross's Goose. Also very tiny, smaller than a normal Ross's Goose.
