A friend of mine just emailed me pictures of what is clearly a Mandarin Duck that appeared this week on his pond in Fairfield County. I've told him that this is almost certainly an escapee. If I am wrong, and this is in fact the find of the century, please let me know. I've always wanted to make the find of the century.
