Yep. Known as wood ducks but also as 'maned geese' - they are a mini goose apparently. Where I used to live in EBrunswick, just near the Lomond Hotel, they used to nest on the chimney. Apparently the chicks can fly too cos there was no other way to eat from up there. They don't quack, just sort of mutter. This is the start of the nesting/breeding season so don't be surprised if they set up housekeeping. Look for nests on chimneys and roofs and in trees.
