     I can't resist mentioning that my mother has a snapshot of me from 
     1960 or so throwing a rock at some ducks at this very same pond.  Its 
     been all downhill from there.....
     
     I used to see pied-bills on the pond periodically, but that was about 
     it for unusual.

Hi MDOsprey,
Family went to the Duck Pond in Adelphi West of Md U.
Saw an irridescent green duck w/ black bill, mallard size. 
Anyone ever see it?  Is it a domesticated duck?  Yesterday saw 
60+ Canada Goose and several M/F Mallards.  At Hyattsville
Library  went through all the birding books available with no luck. 
Any ideas?
