We were driving around Calumet Park on the far south side of Chicago looking for waterfowl or just about anything out of the ordinary when we spotted not 1 but 9 Cackling Geese! These rare visitors are often overlooked because of their resemblance to their larger cousins the Canada Goose. This Documenting shot was use to satisfy the questions from the local eBird monitor about the number we reported on our checklist.
