Not bad! But you forgot the swan goose!

There are a number of ducks I´m trying to learn here, not geese, as I´m not sure if Brazil actually has any native geese as such. They do have some pretty little ducks, though.

Brazilian Whistling-ducks (Dendrocygna):

White-faced Whistling-Duck
Dendrocygna viduata
Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.




Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
Dendrocygna autumnalis
Transpantanal Highway, Mato Grosso state, Brazil.
Adult on the left, two juveniles on the right. (S8)





Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
Dendrocygna autumnalis
Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.



Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
Dendrocygna autumnalis
Pousada Piuval, Pantanal, Mato Grosso state, Brazil.



Comb Duck
Sarkidiornis melanotos sylvicola
About 15 km south of Iguatu, Ceará state, Brazil.
Male. Rare and local in South America. It also occurs widely in the old world tropics. (D3)




Brazilian Teal
Amazonetta brasiliensis ipecutiri
Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
A pair. The male is on the left with a pink bill and white face & neck patch. The female is on the right with the white spots on the face. (D3)





Brazilian Merganser
Mergus octosetaceus
Serra da Canatra NP, Minas Gerais state, Brazil.
A pair with several recently-hatched ducklings. It's the rarest duck in South America. BirdLife International (see factsheet) estimates the population to be 50-249 individuals, most of the them in Brazil. A small population was recently rediscovered in Argentina, and a few might persist in Paraguay. Canastra NP is probably the best place to see it. They can be seen on most days if you know where to look, but can be missed if you get unlucky. (D3)




Masked Duck
Nomonyx dominicus
Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
Female on the right, male on the left. Quite a scarce duck even though it is widespread. REGUA has become a great place to see them in the last few years. (D3)

Lovely! We have the white-faced whistling duck visit our chácara, they´re quite common, and they can get very tame. They´re called Irirê here. They whistle when they fly over the house. They come to get the corn when I feed the geese.
The black-bellied and the teal are far more shy, we see them on lakes here, and sometimes near the stream in our chácara. The teal is fairly common here, it has this beautiful colour in its wings, more noticeable when flying and last year a black-bellied had some ducklings on our chácara, but I´ve never seen that strange one with the business on the bill! The comb duck! Super pics.

This goose breed kinda looks like those commerical geese not too big (embden) and not too small(roman) but for all we know it can be a cross of both of them

Their beaks suppose to be very very reddish
