    Friends: Thank you all for the quick response to my inquiry. These are 
    Cayuga ducks (named for Lake Cayuga, New York, one of the Finger Lakes, I 
    think, maybe the one that Cornell is located on). The breed goes back to 
    1841, it is an American domestic breed, and since the late 1980s it has been 
    making a return as a show duck for breeders.
    
    Best of Birds to you. Enjoy today's sunny weather!
