smittyone@cox.net Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The 8 or so geese in front of the Snow Geese. Are they Cackling or Canada Geese? They were seen at Loess Bluffs NWR in NW Missouri in March this year. They're not much larger than the nearby Snow Geese, which makes me wonder. Based on my previous Cackling Goose post, I guess you cannot ID based on size alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) I think those are all Canada’s, with those long necked and sloped foreheads and bills. You’ll know a Cackling when you see it. Edited July 7, 2021 by Birding Boy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Cackles are notably smaller than Snows, which provides and answer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
