Re: Week 8 Quiz Bird

["Cliff and Lisa Weisse" <october at ida dot net>]

If it was easy there wouldn't be any point to a quiz.  As it
is this photo, and others like it, make you look harder at
the parts of the bird you're seeing which will, in the long
run, make you better at IDing birds.  I just took a quick
look at the photo and there are some good field marks
visible.  If anyone doesn't want to hear what I think this
bird is don't read the next sentence.  Off the cuff I'd say
it looks like a Canada Goose based on the brown wings and
rump/tail pattern.  If you can't rule out Cackling Goose
based on this photo maybe that's something to learn from it.
