Mandarin Duck? Or maybe not. May be a young male wood duck.

Dawson Creek / Mandarin Duck Hunt
After Birds and Brew at Fernhill I decided to go to Dawson to see if I could find the Mandarin Duck that had been reported. Ran into a gal I met at the Birds and Brew. She was also looking for the duck. Between the two of us (she first spotted it) we found it. I was able to get a half way decent picture of it. Had fun looking. By the time I was done there I was pretty tired. Got a few shots though.

Marlowe, I think the bird you identify as Mandarin Duck is actually an immature male Wood Duck.

I'll go out tomorrow and take another look around. See what I can find. Others there that day also thought it was the mandarin. I'll take your word for it and keep looking. I'll email a picture to see if I find it. Thanks
