These two photos were taken in Boston, MA on Charles River this morning. Both birds were in a group of about ten birds. While I am pessimistic that Bird-A is a Cackling Goose - it looked smaller and the bill appears smaller as well. However, it may be the angle of the shot, but it did "look" smaller that Bird-B. Hoping you can help - and hoping for a Cackling. Thanks.

This is definitely a Canada Goose. The bill is far too long for Cackling.
