3 great shots. I can clearly see the different shape in the head and the shorter bill. I will guess a cackling goose. The head seems rounder then the Richardson goose. I have never identified one of these before. Thanks vor the opportunity to try.
@Frank - This post was solely dedicated to our conversation we had about Cackling Geese. I hope it helped some and I look forward to trying to find one in the field when we are out and about.
@Kristen - I have participated in several Christmas Bird Counts and had some really good birds. So good, that I am not at liberty to discuss one particular sighting. I will be posting about some of the counts I participated in.

Lovely photographs of beautiful geese, Andrew!
Thanks Julie, one is a Richardson's Cackling Goose.
Great photos! Have you participated in a Christmas Bird Count yet? I'm curious to hear about your findings!
