Dendrocygna viduata
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the Okavango Delta are among 19 atlas places where the White-faced Whistling Duck is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Zimbabwe. The atlas holds about 122,000 records of the bird from 27 countries, and the map shows where these sightings gather.
Because this species is recorded in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, its seasonality differs by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the White-faced Whistling Duck as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
