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.
