Abstract
Actually a shelgoose (subfamily Tadorninae), the Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) is native to the African continent, where it is one of the most common and wide-spread waterfowl (Mclean 1997). It is now established in Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France in Europe (reviewed in Kampe-Persson 2010). Populations have also been established in the United States (Pranty and Garrett 2011), with most of the breeding birds in Florida (Braun 2004), Texas (D. M. Brooks, unpublished data), and southern California (Pranty and Garrett 2011). Here we document the 30-year history of a small population of Egyptian Geese in northwestern Arkansas and assess their current status.
