Cairina moschata
Found this lil' guy (or girl) walking around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. S/he was not pleased that I was taking pictures. It took me two years to finally find out what species it was!
Apparently, this one must be from a feral population in San Francisco because they are originally from Mexico, Central and South America.
I named him/her herpes duck. S/he was not pleased.
