Such a beautiful duck!! I am assuming this is not a captive bird?? They're normally from East Asia, but I found one here in Colorado also that was in with a big group of mallards and Canada geese...he seemed to be happy, but he didn't have a friend of the same species!! I've been told they're escapees (and descendants of escapees) from captive collections over the years. Great capture!!
