Mexican Duck - Glenmere Park ~ Greeley

[Cathy Sheeter]

There was an adult male Mexican Duck in Greeley at Glenmere Park this PM.  It is most likely the same bird that reproduced at this location this summer creating some Mallard x Mexican Duck intergrade offspring, however this male, himself, appears to be all Mexi without any green on his head, no curly tail feathers, and an all dark tail.  I believe he did leave the pond this summer (at least I did not see him for about 5 visits between then and now) and has now returned. 

 

The pinioned Snow Goose is still alive and there too.
