Cackling or Canada

Post by Sbruenjes »

I saw this bird today at the Orange Reservoir in Essex County, NJ. Merlin picked up Cackling goose on audio, so I tried to get pics of the smaller looking geese. Looking at the pics, I couldn't find one that I thought was cackling, but this was the one I wasn't sure about. I don't think the bill is small enough, but.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
