bpresby Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I saw this one yesterday at a local lake in Southern California. I can’t find a match in my books either domestic, exotic, or regular water fowl. He was with a domestic mallard and some Canadian geese. thank you for the help.

Peromyscus Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It looks similar to/has genes of Indian Runner duck, a variety of domestic Mallard https://www.10000birds.com/manky-mallards-domestic-feral-or-just-plain-odd-mallards.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Runner_duck 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic Mallards are so variable and have so many breeds that it would take a whole field guide just to cover them all! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea why the difference in construction for species such as Canada Goose and Canada Warbler, when it's American Crow and European Starling and Eurasian Bullfinch and Australian Shelduck. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea why the difference in construction for species such as Canada Goose and Canada Warbler, when it's American Crow and European Starling and Eurasian Bullfinch and Australian Shelduck. It's for the same reason as Nashville and Tennessee Warblers, Baltimore Oriole, and Florida Scrub-Jay. Just don't ask me what that reason is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
