Observation details
Juvenile Cackling Goose standing among flock of Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks on the West side ponds. Smaller Branta goose with stubby bill, small rounded head, shorter neck, and overall smaller size. Blurred black to brown neck indicates juvenile. Seen hissing at and being chasing by whistling-ducks, then later seen floating on the open water before taking off and flying to the N. Very rare for the Valley with ~10 contemporary Cameron County records. Size/structure, plumage, and range suggests Richardson’s ssp. Photos.
