[Birdtalk] "Lesser" Canada Goose and "Parvipes"

[David Jensen]

Saw Tim Avery's report from Kaysville Ponds. I thought that parvipes Canada and "lesser" Canada were the same bird. Have I missed something in my hours of nerve-jangling photo studying and reading? I talked with Tim on the the phone about two possible cacklers (Hutchinson's) at the ponds but wasn't sure what I'd actually seen. I assume I didn't see the cacklers then, and that what I saw were a couple of "lesser"/parvipes (?). I think I might be getting my goose language all messed up here.
  I'm not very good at this birdtalk site yet and am not sure if my messages are getting to the right place. Hope so. Would like to hear back about what Tim and Colby think of my nomenclature dilemma. Thanks guys.
