So apparently after a little insight from someone else, we've discovered that my duck is not a duck.
My duck is a Double Breasted Cormorant in actuality... which makes me really happy actually...
At one time in Ontario there was only about 125 nesting pairs of the birds and they were not considered ecologically viable anymore meaning they would die off without direct intervention.
Now there has been an unexplained population boom of cormorants in the great lakes region, to the point where ecologists are concerned about the damage they are doing to the local flora and fauna.
MUCH more interesting than a duck..
So here it is again.
But I like ducks...
