There are a lot of smaller Canada Geese in most flocks but that's all they are __ smaller Canadas. The small races are not much bigger than a large duck. In any flock of geese the size range of the birds is likely to lead one to belie=ve there are small race birds present, but don't jump to any conclusions without taking a good look at the bird and making a critical compariosn w=ith other birds nearby.
