I was birding this afternoon at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay 
and stumbled upon a duck that had me stumped - I don't know much about 
domesticated waterfowl, but my best guess is a domesticated mallard?  Any help 
would be appreciated!  He was associating with other Mallards on the water, 
though he was quite a bit larger than the others as shown in the second picture.

There was also a very friendly Northern Pintail who came right up to my feet 
looking for a handout with a group of Mallards -

as well as Lesser Scaup, Hooded Mergansers, Black Ducks, Canada Geese, Tree 
Sparrows, and a lone juvenile Bald Eagle soaring above.
