Ducks are mostly grouped together by genus; Gadwall, American Wigeon, and Eurasian Wigeon, the Mareca species, follow each other, though Falcated Duck, the fourth Mareca species, is a bit further down, in a spread devoted to rarities. Swans are treated first, followed by geese and then dabbling ducks, diving ducks, and, finally, exotics.
