Yes, I thought your avatar was photoshopped! Gee, domestic Wood Ducks must be really different than feral Wood Ducks! 😁 I haven't seen many because the only place they tend to be are in fresh/brackish water, which was like the pond in the park I used to go to. I'm actually surrounded by salt...

I vote girl.
