dragon49 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) All pictures taken this morning in Central Park. A friend of mine thinks that is a Canada Goose, but I've never seen one with this dark coloring. What is this? This appears to be a common Central Park bird, but It's my first ID of the type: Can this possibly be the Mandarin Duck that mysteriously appeared in NYC? Bad pics - I know: Edited November 8, 2018 by dragon49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The last bird is unidentifiable, but I'd guess it's a female Mallard since it looks like there is a male Mallard to the left of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I'm not seeing anything that suggests it's the Mandarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
