A few days ago my friend Melissa Gilmer called me from the Bear Mountain Zoo in New York’s Hudson Highlands. “We You mean he swam like a duck?”. While the crow dried off we came up with various explanations, none of which seemed especially plausible (“Maybe he just likes ducks,” I said finally. “My Well, he tried,” she said.

It’s cold enough in Chicago—where our high temperature for the day was –2 degrees Farenheit—that the polar bear at the zoo spent the day inside. Should you worry about their well-being as Holden Caulfield worries about the Central Park ducks ? It’s cold enough to freeze vodka. It’s colder than both the South and North Poles.

It seems likely that this individual bird was an escape from a local zoo, as has already been theorized on the New York State listserv. And eastern Long Island has seen its share of visitors from the east this year, with everything from Tufted Ducks to Northern Lapwings to a host of Eurasian Wigeons showing up.

And if you have a small kid and are in the vicinity of some ducks and geese? Also, if lots of ducks and geese gather in a spot where they don’t normally the amount of bird poop could certainly be a problem. Do you toss the bird your leftovers? Do you feed the birds then? Some parks offer pretty darn good reasons for it too.

But it wasn’t all that diabolical when you consider that it was the Queens Zoo that served as the setting and I also left this clue: “a knowledge of what birds can be seen in my fine borough will be of great assistance to you.&# Those who are really familiar with Queens should know what birds are in the zoo named for our borough.

The above photo of a Tufted Duck was not taken here in Australia, but in Europe by myself. However, there have been a lot of photos taken of the Tufted Duck that is currently in Australia. Apparently this Tufted Duck is being called a “ Goth Duck ” in New York already! Surely this Tufted Duck has some friends?

It seems that quite a few zoos keep Tawny Frogmouths. When these birds breed, this can lead to highly cringeworthy announcements, for example from Adelaide Zoo : “We have egg-citing news!” They just sit and pretend not to be there to avoid interaction.” m, individuals feeding on bread were only 0.25

There were birds to watch but they were the gulls and ducks on the river, the sparrows in the fields, the finches that came to the feeder, the beautiful American Kestrel on the roadside wire. Toucans were something else entirely and we couldn’t even see them at the local zoo.

Lesser Whistling Duck were flying around, and a Black-naped Oriole provided a nice flash of colour. These large storks, along with the Painted Storks and Spot-billed Pelicans, have been released here and at a nearby zoo and have set up breeding colonies (as evidenced by the young bird I saw with the adult).

Unfortunately, Summit Ponds themselves can be tough to find.

Mandarin Duck, Central Park, NYS. It is very possible that Mike and Corey will penalize me for including the Mandarin Duck–also known as the “Hot Duck,” “Mandy” only to tourists and the Gothamist–in this list, but its celebrity cannot be ignored. Everybody wants to know about the Hot Duck.

Strangely, the photo accompanying the Wikipedia entry on Collared Finchbills , Asian birds, was taken at Cincinnati zoo. I wonder what Americans would think if, in a Wikipedia entry, a Bald Eagle would be illustrated using a photo taken at an Albanian zoo. The one for bird photographers (a Spot-billed Duck ) is shown below.
