Media notes
Windy conditions, recorded two calls in flight. Cropped from larger recording and normalized to 100% to facilitate perception of the call.
Observation details
Flyover. Heard two GRGO calls overhead while recording WAVI at DCCO pond fishing dock. I have extensive experience with this species in the wild and immediately recognized the call. I was able to get a visual of the goose behind trees and then very briefly as it flew across the pond immediately west of the dock. There were no apparent signs of leucism or albinism. The recording will suffice as evidence for the observation. I have cropped these calls from the WAVI recording which I had going at the time of flyover. Two vocalizations of the GRGO (1 two-note, 1 one-note) are evident. I tried for a photo but couldn't prepare quickly enough.
