    I imagine you seen the fuss over a mandarin duck showing up in Central Park in NY City... Looks just like this one. A mystery. Obviously he escaped from some place. They are both lovely.

    Wow! This is the first time I'm learning about the Mandarin duck and like Bill says they showed up in NYC's Central Park and making quite a stir. Then today on my news I heard there is also one here in our parks but he is moving around and also causing quite a stir. Beautiful birds.

    I love the bright colors on this duck! I don't think we have that kind where I live.

    They are stunning birds Margaret. Even better now that officially I think, Mandarin Duck is a "tick".

    They are very colourful ducks. I see they've caused quite a social media stir in New York this week.

    They are incredible -- almost hard to believe they are real! The wonders of nature.
