Re: [mou-net] Cackling Goose
A very thorough account on Cackling Geese was published in NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS magazine, put out by the ABA. The article, "Distribution and Identification of Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) Subspecies", by Steven G. Mlodinow, Paul F. Springer, Bruce Deuel, Lawrence Semo, Tony Leukering, T. Doug Schonewald, William Tweit, and Jesse H. Barry, is an incredible resource. There are numerous photos, range maps, and summaries of pertinent field marks. Apparently the information here is being used by the USFWS as the definitive reference on Cackling Goose. This back issue can be ordered from the ABA, and the issue is Volume 62, number 3, 2008. In my opinion, this is the best bird magazine on the market. And, you do not have to be an ABA member to subscribe. Info should be on the ABA website.

Re: [mou-net] Cackling Goose
Online David Sibley has commented very well. http://www.sibleyguides.com/2007/07/identification-of-cackling-and-canada-goose/ http://www.sibleyguides.com/ scroll all the way to the bottom I presume that some of the newer field guides that have or are coming out since the split will have descriptions of the two species but because of poor reviews we have bought none of them. Although the photographic guides from Brian Small have been put on our Christmas list. http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8995.html http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8996.html Dennis and Barbara Martin Shorewood, MN dbmar...@skypoint.com - Original Message - From: "Forest Strnad" To: Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 4:09 PM Subject: [mou-net] Cackling Goose Greetings: Is there any bird book on bird identification that has information about the Cackling Goose, with identification and picture(s)?

Re: [mou-net] Cackling Goose (Hennepin Co.)
We went to see the Cackling Geese and found them mixed about the Canada Geese in the grass field near Lamplighter Pond. We also witnessed a Red-Shouldered Hawk at the top of a locust tree and then a spruce tree being dive-bombed by a gull and many crows. The hawk's constant calling when it was being dive-bombed made it much easier to identify. Also on the pond were Hooded Mergansers, Northern Shovelers, Mallards, and a Great Blue Heron flew over.
