Spotted
This category is used for any Sheldgoose (genus Chloephaga) that cannot be definitively identified to a specific species. This often occurs when observation conditions are poor, or key distinguishing features are not visible.
Where to spot
Can be encountered anywhere Chloephaga species are found, predominantly in grasslands, steppes, open woodlands, and agricultural areas of southern South America and the Falkland Islands.
How to spot
Note general sheldgoose characteristics: medium-sized, often sexually dimorphic, with varied patterns of white, grey, brown, and black. Pay attention to overall size, head and neck color, and body barring if visible, to try and narrow down the possibilities.
When to spot
Year-round, depending on the local presence of sheldgoose populations and their migratory patterns. They are generally active during daylight hours.
