Field Notes

Description:

Saw the family just before we left wondered if some of the might be ducks tried to take a picture. Its hard to tell from the photo but some of these might just be younger geese with the shorter necks. Thanks to Sarah I know now that its a subspecies called Cackling geese. Thank you Sarah!

Habitat:

Mouth of the river into St. Martins Bay.
