Hello my friends I was sitting by the river this morning watching all the Canadian Geese and in the mist of them was this little brown duck ! it was so amusing, it was as if they were unaware it was there. The geese were bathing, eating and tending to their morning routine and this little guy just acted like he belonged with them lol. Like the movie "The ugly Duckling " it was unaware it was different. I have never seen in Michigan this type of duck but I know it must have been here before so can someone help me out with a name? ok I going with little with little brown duck lol thanks everyone one

It looks like an immature black duck. They do migrate through Michigan. The duck in the foreground of the poster looks a lot like your photo.
