    Can someone identify what type of duck this is? The image was made at a small suburban lake in Central Maryland last December. Thanks...

    Wendy this is a domestic duck. Most of these (including this bird) are derived from Mallards but selective breeding has produced a wide range of plumages and sizes. Around city parks folks often release unwanted "pets" so you can find them mixed in with their suburban wild relatives.
