Subject: [mou] question on goose split
Hi everyone!
=20
Has anyone heard any more details on the recent split of Canada and =
Cackling Goose? Since seeing Jim Williams interesting posting, I haven't =
heard anything since. I've checked both the A.O.U. and A.B.A. websites =
and have seen nothing there either. Will this mean another regular =
species being added to the Minnesota list? I understand (I think) the =
smaller races of this species, such as Richardson's, are supposedly =
included in this category. Thanks in advance for clueing in this =
clueless birder!!
=20
Good birding!
