I had a difficult time to identify this goose until I came across the Cackling geese.
Cackling geese resemble so much in appearance Canada geese.
Cackling geese have long black necks (my goose has a long black neck)
Cackling geese also have white chinstraps. My goose has this white chinstrap.
And most important my goose has black legs and feet.

Last Saturday I went to Barnes and Nobles to look for books about birds.
I looked at some of them and left Barnes and Nobles
with the pocket guide "Birds of North America".
I liked three things about this little book:
This book is for beginners and I am one of them.
This book covers 160 species. That is plenty for me.
The photographs are magnificent in this book.
