The city parks department is looking for a duck with a plastic ring wrapped around its beak and neck.Five park rangers are searching all bodies of water in Central Park and the pond in nearby Morningside Park, said parks department spokeswoman Megan Moriarty. They're searching on land and will kayak to the duck to make a rescue if needed.She said the duck is still able to fly and swim. Birdwatchers across Twitter have grown concerned that the duck is unable to eat.
The duck is known for its narrow red beak and rust-colored flare of feathers on its neck.Though the common merganser is rare to the NYC area, pollution in bird habitats is not. Around eight million tons of debris enter the ocean every year, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
