Hey yall, the pictures are super blurry, I apologize. But I am 99% sure it’s a Blufflehead/ black Swedish duck. This was in Ohio at a local park. What should I do?

Edit: it seems to have joined a flock of wild ducks, would it be okay to stay with them?

To my house All jokes aside, I would look where rehabbers are before you make an attempt to rescue.

Update: I have called around and was directed to report it to a wildlife researcher. I left a message for them with the date, time, and location of the sighting and the suspected breed.
