Here's a shot of the banded bird:

I reported it to USGS and they responded the same day:

Based on this info it looks as though it's a Branta hutchinsii minima subspecies though they all look the same to me

Nice!

I filled in an online report!

I was impressed with the quick reply too even on a long weekend! I chatted with the bander and he says there are still a few neck collars out there from when they did the study in 2011-2013.
