Index of Subjects Hi Judy, That's a really nice find. As Ian has probably told you, it was banded in Greenland. Did you notice anything in particular about the appearance of those birds? Breast colour? Size? Anything about bill size and shape? Or did they look like the same old stuff? Anne and I had few geese in the Valley last weekend, but there was a small flock of very small Canadas near Truro that could have been Cackling Geese but that appeared to me to be just a bit too large and too large billed - by my thinking likely the westen Lesser Canada Goose, B. c. parvipes. I have to admit that only a few of us really get turned on by watching Canada Geese. But the more you look the more interesting it gets. All the best, Eric From: "Judy Tufts" <tandove@ns.sympatico.ca> To: "NatureNS" <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Subject: [NatureNS] collar-banded Canada Goose in Port Williams Date sent: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 20:06:14 -0300 Send reply to: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > > There was a collar-banded Canada Goose today - Sat.
