[mou] New Prague Cackling Geese

[Steve Weston]

11/15

Stopped by the New Prague sewerage ponds on CR15 north of town.  Found at 
least ten Cackling Geese.   There may have been many more, but I did not 
have time to check out the many small sleeping geese to sort out the Lesser 
Canadas.  There were also about 70 Redheads and a few scaup, hooded 
mergansers, and ring-necked ducks.

You know you probably are looking at Cackling Geese when the birds walking 
by the geese ID'd at first glance as "chickens" turn out to be Rock Pigeons.
