    Today around 1 PM, one juvenile Greater White-Fronted Goose was with  
    Canada Geese at Albany Mudflat, near the first bird-watching platform  
    (closest to the highway). The tip of its bill was black, its  
    underside was gray, and there was no white "front" on its face. Very  
    similar to the first photo of this link:

    A male Eurasian Wigeon was nearby, too.
    
    And yesterday afternoon, a Cackling Goose was swimming in the water  
    by the third platform, leading two Canada Geese. It had a thin white  
    collar at the base of the black neck.
