The cackling goose was originally considered the same species or a subspecies of the Canada goose, but in July 2004 the American Ornithologists' Union's (AOU) Committee on Classification and Nomenclature split the two into two species, making cackling goose into a full species with the scientific name Branta hutchinsii.
The Aleutian cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii leucopareia) is a small subspecies of the cackling goose averaging 1.7 to 2.1 kg (3.7 to 4.6 lb) in weight. It was one of 122 species of animals, birds, and fishes first documented for science by the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Corps of Discovery).
The largest subspecies is B. c. maxima, or the giant Canada goose, and the smallest (with the separation of the cackling goose group) is B. c. parvipes, or the lesser Canada goose. [17] An exceptionally large male of race B. c. maxima , which rarely exceed 8 kg (18 lb) , weighed 10.9 kg (24 lb) and had a wingspan of 2.24 m (7 ft 4 in).

In flight, it can be identified by its fast wingbeat, in contrast to Canada geese and the larger subspecies of cackling geese.
Complications, and differences between the two systems, arise when two birds would have the same code according to these rules (known as a collision), e.g., Canada goose and cackling goose should both be CAGO. The BBL system gives this code to the Canada goose since it is the more common bird, and gives CACG to the cackling goose.
