El conocimiento de la avifauna en México, es el resultado de muchos años de exploraciones en áreas específicas, sin embargo a pesar del esfuerzo realizado, en algunas regiones de México aún se desconoce su composición y distribución; tal es el caso de los humedales continentales, los cuales representan sitios de invernada y de paso migratorio para una gran variedad de aves acuáticas y terrestres del Neártico, así como sitios de reproducción para especies residentes. Se destacan observaciones realizadas en el Sitio Ramsar Laguna de Sayula, resultado de un estudio avifaunístico a largo plazo con muestreos mensuales durante cinco periodos de migración. Se reportan seis nuevos registros para el humedal y algunos para el interior del estado (Dendrocygna autumnalis, Branta canadensis, Sula leucogaster, Pelecanus occidentalis, Pluvialis squatarola y Charadrius semipalmatus) y se informa la presencia de Anser albifrons y Anser rossii con pocos registros publicados para la zona.

Most Ross’s Geese (Chen rossi) nest in the central arctic of North America, but the range has expanded eastward in the last two decades. In summer 2014, we discovered a cluster of 48 nesting pairs of Ross’s Geese at East Bay Migratory Bird Sanctuary,Southampton Island, Nunavut. The Ross’s Goose colony was between an upland Lesser Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) nesting area and a low-lying Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) and Atlantic Brant (Branta bernicla) nesting area, in a zone dominated by ponds and lakes and interspersed with areas of moss and graminoids. Our discovery documents a previously unknown level of nesting of Ross’s Geese at East Bay and corroborates unpublished evidence of growing numbers of the species on Southampton Island and expansion of its breeding range.

A total of 133 700 nesting Ross' Geese and Lesser Snow Geese (Anser rossii and Anser c. caerulescens), in 30 colonies, were photographed in the central Canadian Arctic, Queen Maud Gulf, N.W.T., in June 1976. Estimated species totals were 77 300 Ross' Geese and 56 400 Lesser Snow Geese (of which 15% were blue phase). Species totals were calculated from a photographic census of all Ross' Geese and white phase Snow Geese combined with assumptions based on the estimated proportion of blue phase Snow Geese in each of the 10 largest colonies and the estimated proportion of Ross' Geese in the largest colony. Comparison with a previous visual nesting inventory suggested that from 1967 to 1976 Ross' Geese doubled in number while Lesser Snow Geese increased fivefold. Nesting resources do not appear to be limited.
