hi all ... Gene and I made the trek to see the Bean-Goose the other
day and he was wayyyyyyy out in the field ... but I did get some ok
"ID" images ... my question is --- who is he with ??? ...

this image shows 3 Geese species with the Bean-Goose ... the
chocolate ones are Dusky I presume ... there is also a Dusky-size
with long neck and light body, and one short-necked smaller guy ...
seeing what folks have listed on eBird, the Tavener's is mentioned
... is this the smaller one ???
