T. Cade 1958 25 July Philacte canagica Colville River - ca 10 miles above Unicat A single bird in adult plumage was seen with a flock of about 10 flightless Canada geese. The Emperor Could fly but was reluctant to do so, perhaps because there was a strong wind and rain was falling. Nevertheless, I could not get close enough for a shot, but the bird was clearly seen from about 40 yards. There is no previous record of this goose for the river. Philacte canagica is now Chen canagica per AOU 1998
