Tourists have spotted a solitary Mandarin duck at Burnaby Lake in suburban Vancouver, British Columbia, whose vibrant coloring is hard to miss—and really easy to fall in love with.

The duck, which has been fondly named “Trevor,” made a spectacular first appearance in Burnaby Lake in 2018, and he attracted hoards of tourists flocking to catch sight of him. His rare coloring stands out from the other indigenous duck species that frequent lakes and ponds in western Canada. Then one day, Trevor simply disappeared and was nowhere to be found—until recently, that is.
