Checklist:
– Comments: “in amongst large flock of Canada Geese (CANG); noticeably smaller  (perhaps 2/3 size of the smaller CANG), but really evident small head, thick neck and short stubby bill; initially spotted with binoculars then got scope out and able to confirm. Always easy to relocate in the flock.”
