Goose Hybrid

Liam will go with Lesser Canada X Grey Lag on this one.

It is common to identify the Lesser Canada Goose based on size alone; however this frequently leads to errors. The Lesser Canada Goose is small and therefore is often mistakenly seen as a member of the Cackling Goose species. The Lesser Canada Goose is actually a member of the Branta Canadensis family and is the smallest subspecies of the family. The Lesser Canada Goose is in fact smaller than the largest Cackling Goose. Rather than identifying the Lesser Canada Goose through size it is easier to use the distinguishing features of the subspecies appearance as well as the width of the bird as the species is generally relatively narrow.
