Seen today at Lasalle Park Marina in Burlington among the many Mallards, Canada Geese and Trumpeter Swans was this guy. I have not seen Eiders of any sort before so have no point of reference other than the book. Looks like a juvenile King Eider???

Thanks

Looks to be a hybrid or mixed breed mallard.

There was at least one hybrid mallard/black duck amongst the lot, not including this guy.

In spring 2016, people reported two Swedish Blue (domestic) ducks, one believed to be a cross-breed with another type. This may be one of those 2?
