Mystery Duck

The Loch Ness Wood Duck we'd thought we'd spied near the Red Cedar River turns out to be a Mandarin duck. They are native to Asia, so my little friend at the back of the picture is a feral duck like the two in front. He's a beauty, and I'm glad I got to see him today.

 More information on Mandarin ducks can be found here.

Interesting! I thought of you and your mad picture taking skills while out looking at the ice forming around Multnomah Falls. I knew you could do something with it.

Thanks, Kristin. I'd love to photograph an icy waterfall.

;-) Hope you speak Mandarin. Quack, quack-quack! Hear speaking Peking Duck is even harder.
