It's an Indian runner duck, and cannot fly.  There are concerns that it may
not survive the winter, outside!

Subject: [NatureNS] question re Hemlock Ravine & "Crackers", flightless
duck? there??

Yesterday on CBC Radio's "Q", Jian Ghomeshi started his show with a short
report about a weird bird? in Hemlock Ravine in Halifax (heart- shaped
pond?) -- he called the bird "Crackers" (why? -- people feeding it?) and
reported that attempts to capture the bird (to help it overwinter?) were
unsuccessful.  Forgive me if someone has already  
reported this, but can anyone illuminate these partial notes at all?   
Thanks from devoted CBC listener, Jim in Wolfville -- I tried the podcast
for yesterday, but it left out his introduction to the day's show, which is
the most interesting part of his show for me.
