This duck is punk.
K and I took a stroll through Laurelhurst Park yesterday, as we do about once or twice a week. It was cold and drizzled rain for part of it, but I love to go watch the ducks. There is one duck there that makes us laugh every time we see it; all the other ones look like normal ducks, but there's a little one with a big mohawk. We joke that it's the punk rock teenager of the group. I wanted to take a picture (mostly for MsQwerty, thought it would make you laugh!) and finally got one yesterday...
Anyone ever seen a Punk Duck?

Isn't it the prettiest duck pond ever? Hard to believe this is smack in the middle of town. I love Laurelhurst.

That duck is totally working against the establishment. ROCK ON LIL DUCKIE!
And the park is so pristine and beautiful... perfect place for punk rock duck to cause trouble.

:laughing: It's just so awesome because NONE of the other ducks look like that. There are several dozen ducks (and geese) and they all look totally normal, and then there's this one. It's much smaller than the others, too... hence the punk rock teenager jokes. The punk duck always has its head way up like, "Fuck you, what are YOU lookin' at?" I don't know why it has a mohawk or an attitude, but I love it!
As we were strolling, we saw two VERY punk humans cuddling on a bench by the pond on a Sunday afternoon. Gotta love Portland, where even the ducks are punk rock.
Reminds me of a few weeks ago when needtodance and I were at the Saturday Market. It was crammed with tourists and locals, and there was a small group of young punks in spectacular mohawks hanging out under the bridge. One girl (with the biggest and brightest mohawk) had a cardboard sign reading "Your Picture With REAL PUNKS - $2!" I laughed because my grandfather would have totally paid for a picture with them, and showed everyone in amazement when he got back home. :D

Daffy was a punk rocker?
Duckie goes to Hollywood?
The Quamones?
Quack Religion?
All of these jokes sound better in my Donald Duck voice. Maybe I'll record something when I get home.

Re: This duck is punk.
I don't think so. It doesn't look like any of the pictures of horned grebes I just pulled up on Google, and it's brown with the markings of a female duck. Grebes are black and white. We do have those in this pond too, I think, but this one is definitely a duck of some kind.
Why there are no other ones of its kind in this pond, I don't know. All the other ones look like normal ducks, this one's just weird!
