[Birdtalk] Logan Hooded Merganser, etc.

[Ryan O'Donnell]

I birded a bit again this afteroon.  I started at the Logan River Golf
Course where I found the CACKLING GOOSE, etc. yesterday. I beleive there
were at least four subspecies of white-cheeked geese here today: one
Cackling (after further study today I'm leaning towards Richardson's),
many Great Basin Canada Geese, at least two Lesser Canada Geese, and one
Giant Canada Goose.  The ROSS'S GOOSE and leucistic Canada Goose were
also still present.  
 
I was joined at Sue's Ponds by Jason Pietrzak, where we found one female
HOODED MERGANSER among the usuals.  We also found our first AMERICAN
TREE SPARROWS of the fall along the road on the way to Benson Marina.  
 
Good birding,
Ryan
