Only got two replies but "we" have decided that this is a cross between a
domestic duck and a mallard. The body is bigger than a mallard but smaller than
the domestic and very white, the head is smaller than a domestic, has grayish
spots and shaped like a mallard's, but a black long patch on its head like a
mallard. There also seems to be a strange growth above the beak, not present on
either of the parents. Curious (and friendly) creature.... Millie

Stopped by Cave Hill Cemetery on my way back from downtown this AM. Here are
3 photos of a duck on the big lake. Is this a leucistic Mallard? He/she was
with a bunch of other mallards. The 3rd photo is probably the best, click on it
to view full screen..
