February 10th 2006. Meeting House Road/Bridge Lane,
Enfield, CT.

(Richardson's) Cackling Goose Branta hutchinsii hutchinsii.
Nick Bonomo and Jim Moulton gave us the heads-up for the geese feeding at this location. The flock included two Greater White-fronted Geese and another really smart Cackling Goose. This individual was very similar to the bird at the Barnes boat launch but had broader fringes to the upperpart feathers.The views were rather more distant but watched in perfect afternoon sunlight.
