It looks a lot like the Crested Duck here https://www.10000birds.com/manky-mallards-domestic-feral-or-just-plain-odd-mallards.htm; scroll down to "ARE CRESTED DUCKS A SEPARATE BREED?".

But then they flew north, according to this observer: https://ebird.org/checklist/S150568493. Watched closely with several hundred new friends for over two hours. They flew off at 5:12. They did not appear to have been flushed by any human activity. They flew south for perhaps a mile, then turned out farther over the lake, and then turned back and flew north for a long time. I lost them out over the lake, but they should be looked for to the north.

The flamingos flew south at some point before sundown.

And 3 tv news camera crews I believe

Ah, thanks! I'm glad I didn't do this puzzle yesterday.

I didn't play yesterday. What was the bird?
