The rumors are true! There's a leucistic wood duck near San Diego California and they're a QUEEN! She's riding with mallards, ring ducks, northern shovelers, other wood ducks, and not taking. any. shit!
Gonna be hard to top this bird as my favorite bird of 2025.
More video tomorrow. #Birds

Mandarins have a pretty solid bill with just a bit of white at the tip. Which I don’t think would explain the broadness of whitening on the bill
Tho I’m no expert 😅
Mandarins have a bit more of a stubble. Think Ross goose 😅
I’m happy for an opportunity to learn MOAR!
Could the impaired vocal chords be a result of the mutation that gave her leucism, or completely unrelated genetically, or a separate injury altogether?! So many questions!
