How many species

How many different species of ducks and geese are there on the North American continent?

A guy just told me that we have over 60 different species. I can only come up with 37 and that is including mergansers and swans.

How many do you guys come up with.

did you count the trash ducks

did you count the coots trash ducks? i just figured out they have a season on em the hard way. but count those in what your doing. what do you have so far? i can send you a north american water fowel book it has all the different species. or you can pick one up from g and f for like 2 bucks let me see if i still have it and if you need it and if i got it ill send it to you so you can borrow it

trash ducks

Coots arent ducks, but they are waterfowl and so are rails, snipe, hell divers(grebes), cormorants, pelicans ect, and beleive it or not gulls. The guy I talked to is refering to only ducks and geese. When I'll add my list and you guys can add what I have missed. I KNOW I HAVE MISSED SOME

# of ducks and geese

I'm A member of APWS ( American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society) in our book it lists 127 species of ducks and 42 species of geese,and with all the cross breeding going on,who knows. Tony.

Yep, you missed

You misspelled scoter, but you missed the surf scoter and Atlantic scoters, there's no Old Squaw listed, no King eider, no common eider, no cackling goose, and no Richardson's goose. And I'm not a bird person. For me, there's birds and there's targets and my targets are divided into good eating, and crab pot bait.

you all missed

I'm looking at my book , ducks , geese and swans of N. america. It lists 45 species plus 5 european that visit regularly . This does not include all the subspecies of which there are 11 just for the canada goose alone in the usa. Maybe it does come out to 60 something. Total for the world , not including subspecies is 145 . If anyone wants to know the names of the canada goose subspecies , just write me.

You also forgot...

you forgot spoonbills,spoonies,or shovelers

One duck......Two ducks.......

The classification of waterfowl into genera and subordinately into tribes is in complete disarray if you ask me. The nefarious, "Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of the American Ornithological Union is still, so far as I know, studying bird classification of North American Species. The Johnsgard's order of arrangement is currently used by many, including my hero, Frank Bellrose.

Delacour, Woolfenden and Johnsgard each group waterfowl by differing criteria. Delacour by the obvious, Wolfenden by 10 post cranial bone structures and Johnsgard by courtship display and habits. Most agree on 43 species. Johnsgard defends 7 tribes and 15 genera represented by the 43 distinct species. At present, there are 11 distinct sub-species or races of canada geese alone, but that is not of consequence to the total species list. I come up with 45 species, but I may be splitting a hair or two. (The masked duck is not usually included in inventory, nor is the mute swan by some, since both are introduced species. Since we have nesting groups of black-bellied tree ducks in Texas, I include them, as well as the Fulvous.)

In the world, most agree on eight species of Dendrocygnini (whistling or tree ducks) two of which are in the US. Likewise, it is agreed that there are seven species of swans (Cygnus) worldwide, four of which either breed in, habituated in or visit parts of the North America.

There are two genera of geese worldwide - Branta and Anser that include 14 species worldwide, including the 6 species in North America. The swans, geese and whistling ducks are all grouped into the Subfamily Anserinae.

The remaining waterfowl in North America are grouped into five tribes that belong to the subfamily Anatidae. The subfamily is characterized by waterfowl that molt twice a year, have elaborate courtship displays, short term pair bonds and only females who participate in raising of the young.

Of the five tribes, anatini represents three genera and 40 species worldwide. In North America, there is but one genus, Anas, which is represented by 10 species......the most common of which is the mallard. The tribe Cairinini is represented by a single genus and one species - the wood duck. The remaining ducks are placed into one of three tribes worldwide which embraces 12 genera.

In North America, the tribe Aythini is represented by the bay ducks. All belong to just one genus, the Aythya, which has five species: The Canvasback, the Redhead, the Ring-necked duck and the two scaups.
The Mergini tribe contains seven extant genera, one extinct genus (The Labrador duck). Members of the Mergini tribe do not breed until the second year (unlike the Aythini) and have elaborate courtship displays that are unlike other ducks. The eiders, harlequin, oldsquaw, and scoters, mergansers and goldeneyes are in this tribe.

There are four species of arctic eiders which are placed into two genera: Somateria and Polysticta. The harlequin and oldsquaw are each placed into a separate genus. The three species of scoters are all placed into another genus, Melanitta. All Mergansers are placed into a single genus, Mergus. The tribe Oxyurini, the stiff tailed ducks are represeted by just one genus and two species in North America - the Ruddy and the Masked duck.

Taxonomy in a nutshell:

FOUR swans (Cygnus)[Tundra, trumpeter, Mute, Whooper)
SIX geese (Anser and Branta) (Snow, Ross, Brant, Emperor, Whitefront, Barnacle]
TEN puddle ducks (Anatinae)[Mallard, Pintail, Black duck, Gadwall, Greenwing teal, Bluewing teal, Cinnamon teal, Widgeon, Mottled duck, shoveler]
TWO whistling ducks (Dendrocygnini) [Black-bellied and Fulvous]
TWO stiff tails (Oxyura) [Ruddy duck and Masked duck]
ONE Tree Duck (Aix)(Cairinini) [Carolina Wood Duck]
THREE mergansers (Mergus) [Common, Red-breasted, Hooded]
THREE Bucephalia [Bufflehead, Common and Barrow's Goldeneyes]
THREE Scoters (Melanitta) (Black, White-winged, Surf Scoters]
ONE Oldsquaw (Clangula) [Old Squaw]
ONE Harequin (Histrionicus) [The Harlequin]
FIVE Bay Ducks (Aythya) [Canvasback, Redhead, Ring-neck, Greater and Lesser Scaup]
FOUR Arctic Eiders (Somateria and Polysticta) Common, King, Spectacled and Steller's]
ONE Extinct species (Labrador duck)

In addition, there are several frequent visitors such as the Smew, Eurasian widgeon, Eurasian, falcated, baikal and garganey teals, white-cheeked pintail, pink footed goose, that show up in winter inventories on the coasts and in the Aleutian islands.

There are at least 11 subspecies of canada geese and a variety of other regional and intergrade sub-variants that will cause argument until the end of the earth, one would suppose. Arguments over the size and shape of the syrinx and the trachael development and the import of display and habit will continue long after I am gone from this earth.

The final summation is that there are 145 separate and distinct species of waterfowl worldwide and 43 or 45 in North America - dependent on who is counting. Sub-species go on forever....LOL

Just for fun... a reminder

Don't forget, when you speak of the CONTINENT of North America, that the country of Mexico is also included!
I thought I should mention this in the spirit of the Canada vs. Canadian goose controversy.
Wild muscovies should go together with wood ducks, I suppose?
Have Mexican ducks been demoted from species status? (Refering to the kind that look like mallard hens.)
There may be others that I can't remember right now, and I'm not at all familiar with the ranges of birds "south of the border."

Thats good to know

My god cur

Is that reply up for the best sellers list.

I guess I know now.

I know the list was longer then what I made it, and I missed some real easy ones, but I didnt think is was much over 40.

QUACK QUACK!

TRUMPETOR SWANS

We saw about 150 or more trumpetor swans yesterday in Vancouver BC Canada, what a beautiful site!
A couple if them flew in, their wing span was enormous.
Have never seen them here this time of year before?
