End of the Wild Goose Chase (mostly): Cackling Goose

Last winter and the last few weeks I've been trying to chase reports of rare geese especially Cackling Geese - well, I finally saw them today.  Two were reported at Flushing Meadows around Meadow Lake.  After getting lost in the mess of nearby roads I got into the park and spotted a good size flock of Canadas - I scanned the flock and almost immediately picked out a Cackling Goose but it disappeared into the crowd.  I got out of the car and found 2 and got good views of them.
