Mandarin

Description:

Saw this bird in my home state of Texas. The birders who visited centennial park called this guy Manny. Nobody knows how he got here in Texas but it is an awesome find nonetheless. There is only one at this park and is one beautiful bird. He has been all over the news and is the superstar for right now. It is a male of the species. They are native to East Asia areas like Mongolia and China. This is a super rare find for America the only question is was it an escapee or was it just a fluke migration? This bird is not a regular in this region of the world. The locals say that it showed up about a week ago.

Habitat:

Ponds and lakes
