Cackling Goose, November 7/L Herlevi 2015

Canada Goose, November 7/L Herlevi, 2015

Bird of the day, Branta hutchinsii, or Cackling Goose, a lone bird, amid a small flock of much larger Canadian Geese, Branta canadensis.  They were protective of it, about 4x the size.

Heard Belted Kingfishers chattering, but did not see. Other birds on the lake: Buffleheads, Mergansers, Cormorants, Gadwalls, Mallards, Pied-billed Grebes, Northern Shovelers, and possible Mew Gulls (large flock of them, could also be Kittiwakes, would need to look again.)  Walking toward the lake, Juncos.

Very wet out.
