MedicinSC Goldmember  More info | Nov 01, 2011 22:20 | #1 I figured someone in here might be able to identify this bird for me. He/she was hanging out with the ducks, but I don't think it's a duck.... Or maybe it is? I don't know. I did a google search by putting the image in, but it brings up images of people playing soccer. Weird. Anyway, thanks!

The Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata) is a large duck which is native to Mexico and Central and South America. A small wild population reaches into the United States in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. (From wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_Duck Amidst a conversation about her past as an established equestrian, we drove by a wonderful barn filled with horses. I watched as she swiftly unrolled her window and took a deep breath through her nose, letting the sweet aroma fill her lungs. A true horsewoman, I thought. EOS Rebel T3

(From wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_Duck )This was actually in Georgia, but that's only a minor difference in location. Our area has a large hispanic population. Maybe a few were brought sometime and then nature took it's course.... Interesting.
