The Sky’s the Limit for This Birder
Fewer than 500 people worldwide have reported seeing this African bird – a blue-moustached bee-eater. Photo by Marc Chelemer By…
Rob Fanning reported a Cackling Goose at the CF this morning, and Fred Weber found it again this afternoon. This is the first confirmed Cackling Goose sighting at the Farm, or at least so I am told.
The Cackling Goose is in the foreground above, and to the left below. It was here as of late Saturday. It was definitely way smaller than the Canada Geese nearby, and had a much stubbier bill.
More on Cackling Geese here.
Great job, Rob, and thanks to Fred for pointing it out.
