Muscovy Duck
[Cairina moschata]
[Length 25 (Female) to 31 (Male) in. Wingspan 38 (F) to 48 (M) in.]
Although this Muscovy Duck shows all the field marks of a wild bird, it is assumed to be a feral bird descended from domestic stock.
It was photographed at a road crossing on the Guadalupe River along Rt. 1340, Hunt, TX.
Photo taken with a Nikkor EDAF 300 f4.0 lens on Kodachrome 200 film.
