Hi Lydia and tweets

Did the geese eith the 'necklaces' have white cheek straps? If they did
not, could fvery well been Brant geese - which do have some variety in
bothe shades of color and size.

One referance book that I like for comparing 11 differebt races -
color plate of all of them, and very good text , is DUCKS, GEESE, &
SWANS OF NORTH AMERICA By FRenk C. Bellrose.
a wildlige management institute book published by STACKPOLE BOOKS.. I
bought mine at Wild Birds at Gardiner, south of Sequim.
Cost around $40, but I have found it to be worth the money.
Try chekibg it out at the library?
