These small, olive-colored birds, unlike many bird species, are born already knowing their calls. They can be distinguished by the males’ distinct fitz-bew call used to defend their territories.

We thought it would be interesting to look at the high counts for the 36 species of waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) on our Goose Pond bird list. There have been 3,500 checklists from Goose Pond entered on eBird, and about 1 in a 100 checklists included a high count of waterfowl.
