Mandarin Duck
Mandarin Ducks are endemic to East Asia, where their numbers have declined significantly due to habitat loss. Escape of captive birds has produced small populations in other countries. They are not commonly seen in North America. A lone individual created quite a stir when it was seen several months ago in NYC Central Park.
Mandarin Ducks are related to Wood Ducks commonly found in North America.
Seen at the Toledo Zoo, Toledo, Ohio.
