#1,004 on Ken's Life List

 This is a Cackling Goose.  Ken recently saw it and added it to his life list of birds.  It is the 1,004th bird on that list.  He saw it less than 10 minutes from our home.

He saw on his bird app. that several people had seen it at a pond near our home.  So, he went to investigate.  Sure enough, there it was.  It is not supposed to be this far south.  It evidently is expanding its territory.

If it looks familiar to you, it is because it looks like the more common Canadian Goose.  But it is much smaller.  

Congratulations to Ken on seeing the Cackling Goose and adding his 1,00 4th bird to his growing life list!
