I have seen a duck repeatedly at a lake in Pembroke Pines and still can't figure out what kind after reading several bird books. Nothing seems to describe this duck. I was hoping I could post a photo of the duck here, but that doesn't seem to work. Let me start off by mentioning that this duck is very aggressive...I've seen him/her go after dogs, cats, and other ducks, but not people. Legs are orange, tail feathers brown, most of the body was white but is now starting to turn brown, neck is all brown, had a green beak with a little bit of yellow a few months ago, now most of the beak is yellow....and has a puff of hair on his/her head like a cotton ball. Any thoughts?
