Hi all,
I just found out (only about 10 years later; been using old field guides) about the existence of the Cackling Goose. This lead me to a review of all my photos of geese previously identified as Canada. Luckily I live in Brazil and have taken only a few picture of the "species" during a couple of trips, but I'm finding it very hard to tell the new species apart. This is where and when the pics were taken, and my best guess for the ID:
1 - Pebble Beach-CA (Feb/12). Canada (moffitti)?
2 & 3 - Portland-OR (Jan/14). Canada (parvipes)?
4 - Portland-OR (Jan/14). Cackling (minima)?
Also, are Cacklings supposed to be spotted in northeastern US in winter?
Any help is appreciated!
