If you live in the city but love nature, keep your eyes peeled because one of the most beautiful ducks in the world keeps getting spotted in Toronto.
The wood duck, also known as the Carolina duck, is a species of perching duck found in North America and is actually one of the most colourful waterfowl on the continent.
While the males are typically iridescent chestnut and green, females can often be identified with a delicate white pattern around their eye.
Besides this, these ducks are known for having intricate patterns on nearly every feather.
