Spotted
This refers to an unidentified species within the genus Anas, which includes many common dabbling ducks such as Mallards, Teals, and Wigeons. Accurate identification often requires closer observation of specific plumage, bill shape, and structural features.
Where to spot
Freshwater wetlands, ponds, rivers, lakes, and coastal areas worldwide, wherever ducks are commonly found. These habitats provide suitable foraging and resting grounds.
How to spot
Focus on key identification features: overall size, plumage patterns (especially on the head, body, and speculum), bill shape and color, and leg color. Observe its behavior: is it dabbling at the surface, tipping up, or diving? Listen for distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round in most regions, though migratory patterns may lead to seasonal fluctuations in local populations. Observation is possible whenever ducks are present.
