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!

Interesting, I wonder how this one ended up in SC..

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.

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

I dunno.

When I was in Missouri there were a few in the park and I wondered if they just stopped migrating since food was plentiful year round.

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.

Thanks for the help guys!
