MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just got film back from the weekend between Christmas and New Year's when I visited Blackwater. I found and photographed a small Canada type goose just before the temporary visitors center, but across the road. Still the NWR? In view of the recent discussion of Cackling vs. Richardson's, I examined the photo and compared it to the illustrations in Sibleys. I believe it to be a Richardson's because of the lighter body color. It is small, and it does have a very stuffy bill, however. Anyone wanting to take a look at this image, please contact me and I will e-mail it to you.
