Observation details

Likely the same birds reported by the Spreckles Hill Bioblitz attendees yesterday. Small compared to CAGO (about Cackling Goose size), rounded head, bill about 1/2 width of head (vs ~2/3 or so on Snow Goose), bill has small "grin patch" compared to Snow Goose, interface to head nearly straight (different from Snow Goose, see pictures of young Snow Goose from yesterday at https://ebird.org/checklist/S287528135, which also show comparative size to CAGO). Seen with Ken M. Photos.
