We recently bought a property and I've been out there a number of times over the last couple months. Every time I go out, I see about a dozen and a half ducks on the pond. They don't look like any duck I've ever seen and I've looked in books of native ducks and cannot find them. I'm pretty sure they are someones escaped or released ducks. I asked the man we are buying the land from about them and he said they showed up last year and havent left. I can walk within a foot or two of most of them, but have not tried to touch any yet. I don't have a way to take photos, but hopefully my description is good enough someone might know what they are.
Most of them are black and white, ranging from mostly white to mostly black. The black on at least a couple has a greenish or bronze sheen to it. They have red wattles(?) around the bill, and the bill is yellow on most of them. Two are light brown (like milk chocolate) and white, with the reddish/pink wattle and pinkish color bill. One is kind of fawn/dove grey with reddish/pink wattle and pinkish bill. A couple of them I'm sure are still fairly young.
I have seen them once or twice come out of the trees, when i was out there early in the morning.
