Interested in an answer to this as well. I know different types of geese can interbreed and produce odd feature color offspring. Then there was that lonely last of his kind tortoise who only knocked up other turtles with sterile eggs.

Default Of course he can mate with local ducks

All ducks can interbreed.
If Mr. Mandarin does well and stays, pretty likely we'll see interesting ducklings next year.

He might fly south at some point. And then may come back

There's a Canada Goose I see sometimes in the turtle pond. The way I can pick out this one goose is that she's missing her right foot. I only see her occasionally, but have over a few years now. So the birds move around, but tend to come back.

Not as lovely as the mandarin duck but ... nice looking all the same. I like ducks. Not to eat but to gaze at.

Central Park Gets Cool New Duck

https://ilovetheupperwestside.com/ce...cool-new-duck/

A male Green-winged Teal appears to be the coolest new duck in town, based on the recent volume of tweets about him.

Manhattan Bird Alert has been sharing quite a few photos of this colorful dude in Central Park over the last few days – mostly at the Pool near 103rd Street, but there’s been at least one Reservoir sighting as well.
