I exposed a large bird about the size of a duck with clawed feet, a white face with a black strip along the side of her face and distinct red feathers on the top of her head. Her body was black and she was white bottom her wings. She was climbing in our tree during the morning. We live in CT in a wooded area and we have never seen this bird before. Can anyone idenify this bird please. We have pictures as well. Thank you.

What kind of bird is this?
In Jacksonville, NC I saw a black duck-like bird (doubtless about 15 inches long), and later a total family of them, but I can’t find out on any bird identification sites what it is. It was mainly black but when it apply its wings I could see there is a lot of white on the undersides of the wings. It also has some red around its eyes extending to its beak. Here is a picture: http://thumb5.webshots.net/t/66/666/9/72/0/2966972000074040885BpZiyY_th.jpg

Plans To Build A Mallard Bird House – A Great Way To Protect Your Ducks
If you got a small farm or simply a plot of water and want to keep Mallard ducks around, they are going to need a place to be protected from predators and you are going to need plans to build a Mallard bird household. Here is a simple thoughts to help you construction a fantastic household of their own and to provide them with the peaceful environment they need to nest and reproduce.
Build a Floating Platform
Protecting the ducks from predators is the main goal of construction them a nesting household. Raccoons like to eat the eggs and they will find ways to get them. If you have a pond, a floating household is a fantastic option to provide them a save place to nest.
Use a sheet of thick styrofoam and cut it in a half. This will be fantastic to keep the nesting household floating. Join the two pieces of styrofoam together with 2 pieces of 2×4 or simple boards, leaving a space in between them. Once you have a solid foundation for the floating household, build a platform over the styrofoam with wood boards. Make sure not to use pressure treated wood, which is terrible for the environment.
Build a Household to Place on Top
It will be much better not to have the duck household sitting right on top of the platform. The Mallard household wants to be elevated a small, this is excellent for a floating household as well as a household on solid ground. This is necessary to protect the nest from getting wet from the rain and the possible waves of water coming on the platform on windy days. For houses on the ground, the possible variations of water elevation in the pound may flood the duck household after a huge rain storm so you need to keep that in mind.
How to Make The Nest
To build a nest for the ducks, get a cut of plastic covered fencing that has about tree feet high by 5 feet long. Cover it with some straw hay and roll it like a cylinder of about 12 to 15 inches. Roll it absolutely and attach to fence together to make it stay tight. Thigh wraps will do the trick. Install the nest on the floating platform giving it an elevation of about twelve to fifteen inches.
You can do that by installing two pieces of wood crosswise the platform. Them build a roof by using two pieces of plywood and installing them on the top of the nest forming a triangle shape all the way to the platform. Make sure the roof is longer than the nesting tube to provide protection at the entrance and the exit of the tube. This is a very vital design but that will make the Mallards pleased and a will be a safe place to lay their eggs. You can find other thoughts to make a more stylish Mallard household and subdue make it with materials you may by now have at home.

Need help identifying a bird ( game bird??)?
My son bought me this “bantam chicken” just after Mothers Day. This ‘thing’ is now a childish adult, but ‘it’ isn’t no chicken. It has blue eyes, spotted feathers. It has a small waddle growing out of each side of its face and what I call a ‘horn’ on its head, a bump that is hard. It makes this very loud and very annoying squawk. I thought maybe it was a pheasant, but the tail feathers aren’t right. I would just like to know what this “thing” is and if will it stay around the yard with the ducks and other chickens or is it going to glide away?
