In February of 2007 it was announced that genetic testing among North American birds may have revealed as many as 15 new bird species among 643 types of birds studied between Arctic Canada and Florida. Scientists from the University of Guelph (the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario) and Rockefeller University, along with colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution, the Canadian Wildlife Service, and the Royal Ontario Museum revealed the Canadian-led results were.

Canada Goose Branta canadensis Call There are seven subspecies of Canada Goose, ranging in size from the large 10-18 pound Giant Canada Goose, to the small 5-7 pound Lesser Canada Goose (B.c. parvipes). The once thought to be extinct Giant Canada Goose (B. c.maxima shown below) was re-discovered on Silver Lake in downtown Rochester, MN, in 1947. Since that time the population in Minnesota alone has reached approximately 250,000 resident geese, many of which live year round in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. About half of the 30,000+ Giant Canada Geese that arrive at the Rochester Goose Refuge during the fall each year stay on the refuge, the other half migrate to areas in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. They nest in the inter-lake region of Lake Winnipeg and Lake Winnipegosis in Saskatchewan. The total population of Canada Geese now exceeds 1,000,000.

Cackling Goose Branta hutchinsii Call The four subspecies of the small cackling goose, that nest near the Arctic Ocean, were recently split from the former eleven subspecies of Canada goose. Because of the overlap in size between the smaller Canada Goose subspecies, and the larger Cackling goose subspecies, it is likely that many geese previously identified as Cackling geese, may in fact be one of the smaller subspecies of Canada Goose.
