Cackling Goose in SL County

["Tim Avery" <tanager at timaverybirding dot com>]

This morning at 7:20 am I spotted a lone Cackling Goose with around 500 
Canada Geese at Decker Lake.  At 8:30 I returned with Jim Rafferty who 
also was able to see the bird.  I digiscoped a couple shots which I will 
add to my site later. 

The bird was last seen flying with a flock of Canada Geese to the east.  
There were several hundred Parvipes, subspecies of Canada in the lake as 
well.  I am assuming that the birds are using Decker Lake for a rest 
area at night before, heading towards Jordan River to feed during the 
day.  It may be worth checking early tomorrow.

We also saw a female Hooded Merganser, and a pair or Cinnamon Teal near 
the Oxbow on the Jordan River.

At 2100 south was a lone Bald Eagle!

Good Birding
