Three Possible Cackling Goose, Green Lane Reservoir (Church Rd.), Montgomery Co. PA Oct, 17, 2004

At dusk, so light and photos poor.  Digi-scoped, so vigneting, and focus isn't great either.


The three small geese on the left were swimming together the entire time, more than 30 mins.
Notice short necks, bills, rounder head profile and smaller overall size.



Three still together.
Here the small top left goose shows some pale breast, slighly squarish round head.
Good size comparison relative to preening goose immediately in front.




Here one is immediately behind the other.  Note stubby bills and rounder head profiles.



Moving out of sight to the left.
