Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii), McCormick Ranch, Maricopa County

This Cackling Goose was found and photographed by Ryan P. O'Donnell on 12 December 2017

Cackling Goose is a rare winter visitor to Arizona.

Cackling Geese are separated from Canada Geese by smaller size, shorter neck, and proportionately shorter bill with a steeper forehead.
