Media notes
Goose in question is bottom right. Cackling?
Observation details
There was a report of a Cackling Goose among the many Canada Geese. Other birders pointed out to me the bird in question. Although it does not seem all that petite, it is smaller than the other geese. The forehead was steep. The bill is smaller, but I am not convinced with the potential amount of overlap. The breast is a tiny bit more purplish and smudgy.
