I went back to Big Island and bushwacked closer to the duck.  On closer observation I believe it is a barnyard variety.

>I am from Minnesota visiting Ohio this week.  I stopped briefly at Big Island WMA west of Marion and saw an unusual duck west of the viewing platform.  I thought it looked like the common eiders I saw in Northern Ireland 6 weeks ago, but realize that this would be very unusual.  In the distant scope view I thought I saw a black cap, black belly, and orangish breast.  Could this possibly have been a common eider?  A barnyard duck?  If anyone else sees this duck I would appreciate an opinion.
