They say you learn something new every day and until now I had no idea there were feral Muscovy Duck populations all over North America. Neat! Very pretty too!

What a nice place to spend an afternoon. Beautiful!

I wouldn't have guessed a duck but what an interesting looking bird! He stands out well with his red face. Nice catch!

Lovely shot of this duck. They are so unusual. We have so many of those down here. Very nice image!

A Muscovy Duck for certain! Shy little thing :)

What a colourful fellow he is, quite magnificent!

I cannot identify, but the bird has a similarity to our bush turkey's!
great find!

Beautiful image. Love the colors of the duck. The Muscovy ducks I have seen have been the domestic variety and boring by comparison.

What a find and so exotic too, I would be thrilled to photograph it!
