Message: An Aleutian subspecies (B. h. leucopareia) cackling goose was seen
late Sunday afternoon (April 10) at the Oxbow overlook of Cutler Reservoir
in Cache County. The bird was much smaller than associated resident Canada
geese with a short neck and small, stubby bill. The bird had a prominant,
complete white neck band bordered above and below with black.
