re:Miniature duck? - 2006/11/06 14:04
phalarope, that is a wader.
Thanks for guessing but I think my little duck is a duck, & what's more important, he thinmks he is a duck, following the girl ducks around.
His back end resembles a Mallard, but he is so small, half the sise of a Mallard, but his foot didnt seem to have the wide webbing the other duck's foot had. He was assuredly sitting on a low tree limb for a whilst, that's when I seen he was bandewd.
Maybe he's a lost duck from some migratory pasttern or maybe he's an escapee, or even a throw-away duck.
I cuoldn't tell whether he was a dabbler or a diver, because the tortilla chips I was feeding the ducks beautifully floated on the surface of the little pond in the public park.
