Frequently asked questions

How many waterfowl are found in Argentina?

42 waterfowl that we profile appear on Argentina's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these waterfowl really found there?

Yes — each one is on Argentina's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these waterfowl belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
