It started when I noticed a goose with a group of Canadas. As the images show, it had a short necked, somewhat darker chest than is normal for a Canada Goose, and a slightly shorter, stubbier bill. As much as I tried, I could not convince myself it was a Cackling Goose, and this was confirmed by Mark Garland. In the end, we agreed it was just too ambiguous to call, and hence I have labeled it as Ambiguous Goose. Leader: Mike Hannisian
A short walk into the town of Cape May Point yielded a very cooperative Eurasian Collared-Dove walking and calling along a utility wire. It allowed us to shoot it, but the dark overcast required us to add 1 1/3 stops of exposure compensation to capture its details.
