Ottawa West

My wife phoned me when I was out birding to tell me that there was this strange white, ugly-headed, bird strutting around not far from our house.It took me about 15 minutes to get home to check it out. The bird was still strutting around and seemed quite tame. I suspect it is an escapie from a truck traveling along the six-lane Queensway nearby, but perhaps someone in our area has been raising these domesticated birds and this one escaped??? Later that day, it had dissapeared.

Goes to show that sometimes our best shots can be found close to home!

Peut-être un peu aventurier ce canard...

What a great capture of this duck, and loved the story to go with it.
