Observation details
There was a small group of very interesting white-cheeked geese. Shorter necks, flat-topped heads, somewhat smaller bodies. However the bills were not as short/triangular shaped as I expect for a B. h. hutchinsii "Richardson's" Cackling Goose. I am not as familiar with B. c. parvipes “Lesser” Canada Goose, and I’m not sure how to separate Cackling x Canada hybrids from Lesser CANG. See video.
