My father and I were at the quarry yesterday afternoon and saw the duck in question. There was no chesnut whatsoever on the duck. It was completely black and white. We called it a Muscovy Duck, but it may have been a MallardxDomestic hybrid. The pattern described in the other post was consistant, but the colors were off. Otherwise on the lake there were Buffleheads, Pintail, 5 snow geese, 50+ Black Duck, 75+ Mallards, and too many Canadas to count.
