Any of these Cackling?

In St. Croix in WI. Farthest right bird in each pic.

Looks good to me!

Thank you! Lifer!

Yeah, I think the one on the far right in the second photo is definitely Cackling, possibly more.

Sorry, I don't see any obvious Cacklers.  They're all the same size in the second photo and in range for small Canada in the first.

Also in the first photo the bird is facing towards us while all the others are in profile, making it appear smaller than it actually is relative to the others

What about the two that I circled?

There’s a couple candidates there which I would take a closer look at in the field, but nothing I would call an unambiguous Cackler from these photos, and they could well all be Canadas

I agree. I wouldn’t call any cacklers, but the bird on the far left in the second photo has a really steep forehead….

[The Bird Nuts]

@IKLland The last one you circled is the same size and its bill is the same length as the obvious Canadas next to it.  The lighting and possibly the heat haze is making the forehead look steep.

I hate heat haze.

No obvious Cacklers.

Here is the thing about Cacklers you WILL know one when you see one. At least I did. The overall size is so substantially different from Canada Geese plus the bill so small they become obvious mixed with or not mixed with Canada Geese. I'm probably not explaining it very well but you know it when you see one. You just will. You won't post your sighting on Help Me Identify a Bird. You will post directly to Lifers. Yes I know their color....is very much the same as Canada Geese but you will still know one when you see one.

I thought I saw several Cackling in the mix I just couldn't tell if they were in the photos.
