Observation details
Observed a single bird with some richardsoniis for comparison, and later two birds together that I became drawn to because of their kind of raspy honking amid the honking of both Richardson's Cackling and Lesser Canada. Also 1 immature bird hanging with Canada Geese. All individuals exhibited a notable size difference from the richardsoniis, with a nice gradual slope to the forehead and a longer, slightly differently shaped bill. As displayed nicely in the first photo showing a Taverner's to the right of a Richardson's, there is also a nice broad base to the bill, if not a slight bulge.
