Continuing Cackling Goose at Lake Murray

This afternoon at 3:55 PM the Cackling Goose at Lake Murray flew into the beach just north of the boat launch with 9 Canada Geese. This bird was first reported on March 7th by Terry Hurst. The darkish plumage and lack of white band at the base of the neck lead me to believe that this is a Pacific Cackling Goose, I seem to remember the last few I have seen were Aleutians. Still here at 5:10.
