Comment:
AOU (2004) notes, "Formerly included populations now separated as B. hutchinsii on the basis of genetic studies of geese, including recent work with mitochondrial DNA (van Wagner and Baker 1986, Shields and Wilson 1987, Quinn et al. 1991, Paxinos et al. 2002, Scribner et al. 2003) that confirm earlier suggestions (e.g., Brooks 1914, Aldrich 1946, Hellmayr and Conover 1948) that more than a single species is involved. The distribution of this large-bodied form includes that of the subspecies B. c. canadensis, interior, maxima, moffitti, parvipes, fulva, and occidentalis as recognized by Delacour (1956)"
