Nature Done Wright

Just back from a trip in time to see the Mandarin Duck at the CF — the second record that I am aware of. The bird is distant — off to the left of the Warden's Watch by the farthest Wood Duck Box (near the Mallard Box). "X" marks the spot. As of 2:50 p.m. today.

First one was on Thanksgiving Eve 2010, and I missed it. Link is here.

If anyone has a good pic of this new guy they'd like to share…

Yes, both birds were likely released here, and yes, there is a prime suspect…
