[Maine-birds] Mystery Duck Update

I got a few responses and my favorite so far is that a grackle mated with a mallard (suggested in jest by Casey).   

The suggestion of a mix with a domestic and the similarity with a ducks in some parks in TX reminded me of a bird I saw in a park pond in NJ.  A birder from Mass ID'd that one as a Cayuga.

That's what I think we have here.   

Thanks for the responses and curiosity.
