This Asian duck showed up in California Dec. 8-2011. It is a
falcated duck common in China. It is also found in N. and S. Korea,
Japan, and sometimes in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. It has settled down
in the Colusa National wildlife Refuge.
This duck got hot on a female American
Wigeon, but her male partner fought off the rival and all ended in
peace- for now. The falcated duck is a celebrity admired by
thousands of birders. He sure enjoys it.
