Hmm, I can't find it in Sybleeze Guide to Birdz, Eastern Edition... nor the Aubodown Field Guide to Nort' American Birdies....

Could be a hybrid. We get domestic ducks breeding with wild ducks here in S. Florida.

Good thing it wasn't a cross between a duck and a flamingo, eh? ;)

Looks like a goose to me. It has a "goosey" head and bill, but then again, it is looking right at me so it is hard for me to tell.:):):):):)

[Scottes]

I think it's either a psduck or a psgoose. The "PS" is silent in both cases.

i gues his compass was broken:lol:

Went over to the park today ... saw and definately identified the bird as an Egyptian Snowgoose using the Sibley Guide to Birds. According to the book, these birds are found in S. California in the wild (small numbers).

An Egyptian Snowgoose, huh? Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? :mrgreen:

An Egyptian Snowgoose, huh? Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? :mrgreen:LMFAO!!! No sh!t. Maybe Egyptian sandgoose would be a little more appropriate
