Nature Through My Lens

Nap

Somebody said “Nap” and they all agreed!  Except for the guy on the left.  He didn’t get the memo!  These Cackling Geese are standing on a submerged log.

The Cackling Geese are a subspecies of Canada Geese.  There was a large group of them on a local Pond.  Mixed in were a number of Aleutian Geese which are another subspecies.  The Cackling have small bills and a short neck.  The Aleutians are a bit large and have a white circle at the bottom of their necks.

    We don’t get the Crackling Geese over here, though we do some, a rarity.

      Bob, from what I’ve read, they basically range from AlaskatoCalifotia
