Where can I find a list  of  Waterfowl?

Hi Lawson. Could you be more specific? There are thousands of species of "waterfowl" in the world. Are you interested in a particular geographical area? Or in a particular group, such as ducks, coots, rails? \nMake a more specific question; I'll check back :-)\n------------\nI'm glad you answered! Well, most waterfowl belong to the orders Anseriformes (ducks, swans, geese, etc), Podicipediformes (grebes), Gaviiformes (loons), Gruiformes (coots, cranes), Ciconiiformes (storks, herons, ibises). Marine groups include also Procellariiformes (albatrosses), Pelecaniformes (pelicans, boobies and cormorants), Charadriiformes (plovers, oystercatchers, gulls, etc). Check the list at the link below for members of these groups. WARNING: it will be a looooong list!

http://www.boytharness.com/duckguns.htm\n\n\n\nLocation\n Location is the single most important aspect of hunting waterfowl. \n In order to kill any number of ducks consistently you need a good spot. Even the best duck hunter will not kill many ducks in a bad spot. \n To find a good spot you can either scout on your own or ask around but usually a combination of the two works best. So go find a good place to hunt and kill some ducks. \n\nEquipment\nOnce you've found a good place to set up you're only about 3/4 of the way out of the woods. You still need to have the right stuff to get the fowl in nice and tight. Plus having all the trinkets and equipment of waterfowling is a good portion of the fun, and a great conversation piece in the blind.\n\nThere are several areas of equipment that are necessary to every waterfowl hunter: Guns, Shells, Decoys, Calls, some way to move around in the water, and some form of concealment.\n\nGuns:\n\n There is a lot of variety when it comes to duck guns. Basically it comes down to personal preference. \n If you’re in the market for a new gun look around and ask people about their favorite duck gun. Then figure out what you want in terms of action, choke, etc. \n Go to a store or gun show and try out the various makes and models of guns to see what fits you best and which is the most comfortable. \n There is one thing you don't need to worry about trying to decide on and that is what gauge of shotgun to buy, that's a given, a twelve gauge is the only affective gun to hunts ducks with using steel shot. A ten gauge will do the job too but they are too bulky. \n\nShells:\n\n In order to hunt ducks and geese legally you need to use non-toxic shot. There are three types of non-toxic shot available today steel, Bismuth, and Tungsten. \n Steel has been around the longest but it is the worst performing. \n There are a few tricks needed to kill waterfowl with steel shot. The two main things you need to know are to use big shot and buy fast shells. \n Bismuth and Tungsten work very well (along the same lines as lead) but they are awfully expensive. One advantage of Bismuth is that you can shoot it through old guns that are not made to handle steel or tungsten. \n\nDecoys:\n\n There is an infinite variety of decoys available. They are made out of variety of materials: Cedar, Cork, Foam, and Plastic. \n Cedar and Cork look beautiful and ride the water just like a real duck, however these are all handcrafted and fetch exuberant prices that the average hunter can not afford. \n Foam and plastic will also draw ducks. Foam is better because it is solid and can absorb being shot, rides the water better, and are more easily repainted. Foam decoys are still fairly expensive. \n Plastic decoys are cheap and still very realistic looking. Try mallard decoys that are all magnum size - these are slightly larger than life size so they have additional drawing power, but they are still close enough that ducks will swim into them on a regular basis. \n\nCalls:\n\n The sound of a good call is one of my favorite parts of duck hunting. \n Every call sounds different depending on who blows it. So to find the right call for you, you probably need to try out a few, plus some days ducks will respond better too than others, so it is good to have a spare. \n \n \n \n\nReturn to top of page\n\n \n\nWaterfowl Hunting Tips:\n \n Use the sun, wind, and other natural features of the landscape to your benefit when setting up. Set up in short timber and shallow water whenever possible. Short timber because the ducks will come in lower and shallow water because that's where they want to feed. \n Take time to not only practice your calling but to learn how ducks actually use different sounds. Then go back and practice. \n Use effective camouflage that matches the terrain you hunt. We have many hunts where the ducks simply don't want to work to the decoys around the blind, so we get out of the blind and are able to

You might try the Audubon Society page.  When you click on it up at the top it says Birds and Science.  There is a sub category called About Birds and then Audubon's Birds of America.  Then try the Birds listed by family.  Hope this helps!

University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web is usually a good place to start with any group of animals.\n\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Delphinidae.html\n\nYou can find specific information on most of the species of Delphinid there, as well as classification data and further sources.\n\nA good place to look for information about rare species is the IUCN (World Conservation Union) redlist site:  http://www.redlist.org/\n\nSearching for information on a specific species will give data on their conservation status, reasons for that status, and any projects that are working on conservation of that species.
