A Mandarin duck, native to East Asia, should not be paddling in the Pond in Central Park; yet here he is in New York on November 1, 2018.

I've seen one of those exotics a time or two in my travels. Always an unexpected sight, given they are not a native bird, but stunningly beautiful. Great pic.

The Mandarin is a beautiful duck. I wonder what it tastes like?

Hmmm, question in maybe poor 'taste'. Would it be legal to shoot it? It's non-native.

Not in Central Park! - and probably not otherwise - most likely somebody's pet that got released in the park - or took off to find better 'environs'.

Legal or not I would think shootings in Central Park might be somewhat frequent....

I guess that means the duck is safe.
