Observation details
Interesting goose in a flock of Cacklers. Possible Greater White-Fronted x Cackling Goose hybrid? Slightly larger in size than Cacklers. Cheek patch larger and duller than that of the Cacklers. White on front of face with lighter pinkish/orangish color showing on bill, which seemed less stumpy than that of the Cacklers. Bird was is tall grass and surrounded by other geese, so I was unable to get a look at/pics of entire body. Looks similar to other eBird pics of this hybrid.
