	The New Goose -- Canada / Cackling Goose Split
		The Canada Goose complex has been usually divided into subspecies along lines of size and color, with larger birds nesting mostly in the south and smaller birds mostly in the north.
		The smallest of the Canada Geese subspecies and the largest of the Cackling Geese subspecies are about the size of a Snow Goose, or about half the size of the Canada Goose that is commonly found in Utah.
		To be certain of a Cackling Goose, a birder would have to see a bird only one-quarter to about one-third the size of the common form of Canada Goose, or roughly from the size of a Mallard to the size of a Ross's Goose.

	Canada Goose Survival - Colorado Division of Wildlife
		Banding records indicate 3,711 Canada geese were transplanted in the mountain parks and west of the Continental Divide in Colorado between 1955 and 1988.
		Because Canada goose populations in western Colorado have been recently established, there is little biological information available on which to base management decisions.
		This study proposes to determine and compare band recovery distribution, survival and encounter (recovery, reporting, and recapture) rates, and population segments for transplant and wild Canada goose banded in western Colorado prior to 2000 and Canada geese banded as part of this study in the same area during June and July 2000 through 2006.
