Spotted
This general category is used for any goose (within the Anatidae family) that cannot be identified to a specific species. This can happen due to distant views, poor lighting, or when the observer is unfamiliar with the local goose species.
Where to spot
Can be observed globally in a variety of wetland and terrestrial habitats, including lakes, rivers, marshes, estuaries, agricultural fields, and grasslands, wherever goose species are present.
How to spot
Note general goose characteristics: larger than most ducks, typically terrestrial grazers, with relatively long necks and sturdy bodies. Try to observe any visible plumage patterns, bill shape and color, leg color, and listen for calls, which can help in later identification attempts.
When to spot
Year-round, depending on the specific location and the migratory patterns of local goose populations. Most active during daylight hours when foraging.

Geese, along with ducks and swans, belong to the diverse Anatidae family, which includes waterfowl found in nearly every part of the world, making 'unspecified goose' a common record for global birdwatchers.
