Lookie what I found! A blue-eyed duck! No, I did not color his/her eyes in photoshop, they were naturally blue.
Wierd.

These guys must be related.



This guy was giving me the "evil eye" while I was evaluating some Rotties at Orange County Animal Control. We took both boys, both under 18 months old, and they were placed in new homes in less than a week. Those blue eyes must bring good luck.

Nice picture, I had one of these attached to my leg one time. I think he did not like the fact that my eyes were bluer.

Nice picture, it does have nice eyes. I haven't seen one like this at my local pond.

Interesting! I don't think I've seen a Duck with that red on its face either.

Now that's just scary. Cool but scary. He kind of looks like he's giving you a "grrr" out of the side of his mouth too.

Looks like a Muscovy Duck (white plummage). Actually they are fairly common in the US. Here is some info on them

Thanks for that info. Sure looks like a Muscovy Duck.
It doesn't look like thats what Jim has, though.
I have never seen a blue eyed duck, but it sure is pretty.

This is actually a Embden goose (related to ducks).

"Nice picture, I had one of these attached to my leg one time. I think he did not like the fact that my eyes were bluer. "
