Observation details
...saw two more closer – one with very faint suggestion of white neck ring and one without; the one with faint white neck ring also with slightly darker breast coloration; these two left together with one calling repeatedly – high pitched “hrit hrit hrit” calls that weren't as sharp as the “yip yip yip” calls of the Aleutian goose at the San Gabriel River two days ago or what I described as the “yelp” call of the Aleutian here at Huntington Lake on November 25, 2011. At the time, I identified these two as Cacklers, but later change my mind based on photos and decided on lesser Canada goose (parvipes). Robert McNab provided input, however, that suggested it was best to leave these two as unidentified to species.
