So, this is what happens when I try to submit something in a hurry whilst at work

I clicked the wrong image in my gallery to copy and paste the tags to save time...

Yes, doesn't the "duck" look like someone brushed its feathers and I don't know but polished the beak or something? It was following me around at a distance while I was taking pics of the geese. I turned around and there it stood very still and didn't move so I shot multiple images hoping one would turn out. Most of the time they never sit still so there is blurry edges and motion but this one didn't move at all. 

Thank you

Haha! This has already happened to me, you can imagine my face when I saw the submitted image!

This duck is so "tidy," maybe it's a female waiting for a boyfriend. 

You're welcome!

Um, I copied and pasted the wrong tags from a submitted image...

Its actually, and many have confirmed this in the comments, that it is indeed a duck.

Thank you so much for commenting and please rest assured that I will probably mislabel other images in the future cause apparently that is how I roll

If it's your first time visiting one of my images well... yep, I'm like this all the time

Indeed it is and best part is it didn't run away like the mallard does.

She? was following me around at a distance and after awhile I forget she was there. Then I turned around and there she was just sitting and waiting. She didn't move at all when I took this picture which was so different from the geese and mallards as they are always moving.

Isn't that sweet she seemed to be very trusting. And that is a plus for you as it will give you a good photo too. I love it.

My daughter for years, when we were out and I was taking pics of animals, called me Dr. Doolittle. I always thought she was just joking but sometimes she would get upset when she realized I wasn't taking her seriously. Then one day in the back yard one of the wild bunnies was munching on grass and I grabbed the camera and walked over expecting it to take off as soon as I was 12 or so feet from it. It looked at me and then went back to eating as if it didn't care. I mean it was laying down and eating and didn't make any moves like it was preparing to jump and run. I was laying on the ground less than 5 feet from it taking pics and talking to it and after about 3 dozen pictures I got up and said thanks and "I'm done". Instantly the rabbit took off like a shot to the other end of the yard stopped and looked at me and then went through the fence to where its warren is.

My daughters room window is on that side of the house and her window had been open. She had watched the whole thing and as I started for the back door I heard her from her room state "Don't ever tell me again you aren't Dr. Doolittle" and then closed her window.

It's a duck, not a goose. Geese don't have flat beaks and they have longer necks.
