a recent addition to our backyard fauna. looks like a cross between a vulture and a goose. not all that spooked by me either. he's about twice the size of any of our mallards. he's been around for a couple of weeks now.

anyone know wtf this is?

Chinese duck. I forget the name, but it's a cross tween the Malard and domestic goose.

If that's a cross, it's the genesis of the expression "saving face." Poor fowl. Hopefully they consider each other attractive.

I believe what you have there JB is a particularly ugly example of a Muscovy Duck:

The last place I saw one was in a petting Zoo with my kids, looked very similar to yours.

It's a Pripyat duck, a species endemic to northern Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure it's an insurance agent

It's a Pripyat duck, first seen near Pripyat (just north of Kiev Ukraine) in summer of 1986.

Agreed. There are a fair amount of them in this area.
