I do not know the name, but there is a great one to be seen (at least I
observed it earlier this week) in Lynnwood at the pond just south of
Scriber Lake Park, at approximately 200th SW and 54th W (the pond where
the people come to feed <in spite of the sign urging them not to> the ducks
<and the geese, gulls, pigeons, and whatever>). A magnificently colored
Mallard to say the least.
