Description
For years I've thought that these gorgeous ducks are wood ducks, but come to find out that they are Mandarin ducks! However, Mandarin ducks and wood ducks ARE in the same duck family! And what is really interesting to me is that in North America, Mandarin ducks are primarily found in CA (Where I am!), where they originally became established in Sonoma County! But I've seen them so rarely! Anyway, I was really happy to see a bunch of them at the hotel we stayed at in San Diego! They're just so pretty!!
