Ross's Goose - 2, One adult seen clearly and a possible subadult (based on dusky scapulars visible) sleeping next to it.
40 - Greater White-fronted Goose 
10 - Cackling Goose
16 species of ducks
4 species of geese
20 + Killdeer
1 Wilson's Snipe (seen yesterday, the 19th)
1 Merlin (taiga)

Also, a large white domestic-type goose has been present for several days and some have been tempted to call it a Snow Goose. It tends to stay close to the cattails.
