Observation details

Medium-large duck with hefty white breast fading to grey wings. Taupe head and bluish-pink bill, long and thin. Slight raised comb visible when it turns. Juvenile, very confused. This individual was stuck in a ditch but rescued by some tourists (that’s what they told me). Distinguished as a juvenile in part from the habitat selection (local elementary schoolyard).
