Canada Goose split

["Utah Birds" <utahbirds at excite dot com>]

The Canada Goose has been split into two species: Very basically the larger Canada Goose and the smaller Cackling Goose.  The split is quite tricky with some of the intermediate-sized subspecies, but Mark Stackhouse has writen an excellent paper on the split and how to go about making a good ID.  Here's a link to the paper:
