  2. Feral Muscovy Ducks are a familiar sight in Hermann Park. Descended from domestic ducks, these free-roaming birds have an unforgettable face: vivid red caruncles, amber eyes, and patchwork bills. 🪶

  3. I really like how this guy came out! With my non-outline outline.
    Somehow so poised and pretty!

  4. Muscovy ducks meet a Brush-turkey

    Two Muscovy ducks hiss and wag their tails to warn off an Australian Brush-turkey. The Brush-turkey had been investigating my shoes, then it decided to see what the two interesting ducks were up to. The encounter ends peacefully. No feathers flying this time!

    Muscovy ducks come from the Americas, and are actually more like a cross between a goose and a duck than just a duck. They hiss like geese, although it’s a very quiet hiss. Their faces and heads look like geese, but their body shape is more like a duck’s.

    I’ve seen this pair of Muscovies at Manly Dam often — they’ve made this area their home.

    Common name: Australian Brush-turkey and Muscovy duck
    Scientific name: Alectura lathami (Brush-turkey) and Cairina moschata (Muscovy)
    Approximate length: 60-70 cm (Brush-turkey) and 76–84 cm (Muscovy)
    Date spotted: 29 April 2025 (autumn)
    Location: Manly Dam park, New South Wales, Australia: 33°46’44.9″S 151°14’58.4″E

  5. We very often see Egrets and other more long legged birds common to the...excuse me, #GulfOfMexico ,winging their way home after #Sunset here.This eve was a bit different.As I walked out, beer in hand, something told me to look up. This large blob, flailing wildly and clearly losing altitude, grew large in the wheelhouse. Just clearing the roof and beneath the heavy beating of wings, I thought I could actually hear gasping, very much respiratory distressing. #MuscovyDuck .Revoke that license now
