Order ANSERIFORMES and PODICIPEDIFORMES

Ducks
Ducks are rare in Borneo. Twelve species have been recorded, of which the two Tree-ducks are resident in the south, the Cotton Pygmy-Goose is presumed migrant, and two Australo-Pacific species have been found in the east. The others are well known Palaearctic species which occasionally straggle to our area in winter, Borneo being on the extreme fringe of their winter range. (Smythies, The Birds of Borneo, 1999)
