Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) (1)
- Reported Jun 22, 2025 08:14 by Tom Edell
- Park Ridge Trail Parking Area (use for viewing estuary), San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.8237954&<ll...>,-120.8237954 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S253230966 - Media: 3 Photos
- Comments: "Continuing today along the Chorro Creek channel with the main flock of Canada Geese. In flight smaller than adjacent Canada Geese. This bird had an obvious white neck ring at the bottom of the black neck sock that was thickest at the front of the neck, and a shorter neck and smaller bill than the adjacent Canada Geese. It appeared to have a darker breast than the Canada Geese in the field though the breast color looks similar in my photos. This looks like the same bird I saw from the Morro Bay State Park Marina boardwalk on 24 May (https://ebird.org/checklist/S242147034)."
