Continuing MEGA found the previous afternoon by Keith Slauson. I returned to the field to try and observe the Goose again in better light, since it had been pretty horrible in the morning. After spending over an hour scanning the Cackling Geese in the field as well as the occasional flocks flying in from the north, I wasn't seeing the goose. Then, as one of the flocks was flying in, my ears picked up on this somewhat odd, much lower honking call that was definitely not a Cackler. Upon scanning the flock i picked up on a bird with a chocolate brown head, and orange legs. Bingo. To my surprise, the bird broke off from the flock, circled around, and put down basically right in front of me away from the rest of the flock near the fence line. The bird quickly walked away from me to the rest of the flock, but not before I could get a few pics, thankfully. The bird was overall quite similar in size and shape to the Cackling Geese it was associating with. I would say overall the bird was slightly larger (by approximately 10-15%) and slightly less compact. Also of note was the bird's extremely thick neck in comparison to the Cacklings. The bird was brown overall, with lighter brown head and neck in comparison to the back, but darker brown then the underside. The bill was dark a dark grayish-black with a pinkish-orange subterminal band that covered approximately 25% of the bill. The breast had a darker medium-brown patch surrounded by a lighter almost sandy brown color on the neck and belly eventually giving way to a white vent, rump, and undertail coverts. The flanks transitioned into light brown banding that steadily became darker near the rump. The legs were bright orange. The flanks were separated from the wings by a white band. The scapulars, primaries, secondaries, and tertials were all a dark chocolate brown, bordered by a sandy brown or white (depending on the feather) terminal band. This gave the upperside a very scaly appearance.
