[cobirds] New Duck! Longmont

Hi all, I know I've confused a Domestic goose with a White-fronted goose and a Cayuga Duck with a Brant before but I just spotted yesterday at Golden Ponds in Longmont (Boston St. side) a large grey duck with white breast! Not wanting to claim it as a Black scoter too quickly, I checked it out online and this is a Swedish Blue duck! A bred variety of the Mallard. My little list of 'domestics' is now up to four (I saw Muscovy ducks in Florida). What fun! - Dave Hyde/Longmont, CO
