Argentina Duck Species

There are 14 Argentina duck species commonly encountered. A few more South American duck species are far less common. Argentina is a very large country. Some species are more abundant is some regions than in others, and some species use highly specific habitats.  The most common species of Argentina ducks are Rosy-billed Pochard, Fulvous Whistling duck, White-faced Whistling Duck, Yellow-billed Pintail, White-cheeked Pintail, Red Shoveler, Brazilian Duck, Speckled Teal, Ringed Teal, Silver Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Chiloe Wigeon, Black-headed Duck. Other Argentina duck species not as ubiquitously found across all parts of Argentina are the Southern Black-bellied Whistling Duck, South American Knob-billed Duck, and Masked Duck. There have even been instances that Blue-winged Teal were taken while duck hunting Argentina.

While many first-time guests want to put their hands on as many new species as possible, others favor programs with high densities of hard-charging, decoying rosy-billed pochards. Most hunters are vacationing and simply want to experience the tremendous waterfowl flights, steaks and camp atmosphere for which Argentina is famous.
