Life Bird #554

Egyptian Goose!!! ABA #554 Probably will be listed as a code 2 bird. It was originally on the Exotics list for years, but finally the ABA has voted to add it to the checklist, only if you've seen it in southeast Florida. And that I did!! Back on March 28, 2014, I was in Florida, (see my April blog post), at the Wakodahatchee Wetland, and this big beautiful goose flew right up to me and landed on the railing. So I took a picture and moved on.

Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiaca


a must visit place in Florida if you can

Yesterday, the ABA Checklist Committee (CLC) unanimously (8–0) accepted the Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) as an established exotic in southeastern Florida (Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. The Egyptian Goose is species #986 on the ABA Checklist
