All,

Common Shelduck is an Eurasian species with the nearest breeding locations to CO being western Europe and Iceland. For the USA, eBird shows one sighting from northeastern Pennsylvania and some sightings from the New England coast in 2017, but nothing further west. The field guides say that Common Shelduck is frequently kept in waterfowl collections.

Cheers, Peter Gent.

Thanks Peter. These 4 acted very much like wild birds and really captured my interest. I wonder what their story is?
