Greetings All
A short bit ago there was a solo goose on Union reservoir's north shore, a bit west of mid-way point. It is a dusky breasted goose with a partial white neck collar (anterior only), a huge black gular stripe (dark stripe on chin) that goes up onto side of face, a somewhat chesty look, and a white cheek patch without indentation. Any one or two of these marks would not necessarily ID the bird as an Aleut (though that broad of a gular stripe is quite rare in other Cacklers, except maybe minima), but the combination is quite classic
Good Birding
