Cackling Goose at Santee Lakes

Thursday morning around 0815 there was a Cackling Goose on the bank and in the water in the northeast corner of Santee Lake #3.  Very small goose, with short neck, stubby bill, and rounded head.  Upper breast was dark brown and there was no white at the base of the neck.  Also saw continuing Common Loon at northeast corner of Lake #4 and continuing Cattle Egret at north shore of Lake #1.  Did not see previously-reported White-faced Ibis.
