[size 3]Judging from the picture, looks like a mottled duck to me. [/size]

[size 3]Yes, the duck was a little out of his usual range and migratory habits, but when you remember, locally, we have an escapee flamingo hanging and migrating with a flock of pelicans, such a thing can happen.[/size]

[size 3]How many of us would have identified it as a hen mallard, harvested it, and never given a second thought as to it being another species?[/size]
