The following link will take you to the update from sibleyguides.com for information on the Canada Goose/Cackling Goose split. The short story is in this quote from the site: "This means that the English name Cackling Goose, which has in the past been more or less restricted to the smallest subspecies (the far western B. c. minima) is now the species name for all four of the small subspecies." www.sibleyguides.com/canada_cackling.htm
