Muscovy Duck

Cairina moschata

Description:

Muscovy is a large duck, native to Central America - presented here, probably the escaped domestic breed?

Habitat:

Tropical duck, but adapts well to cooler climate, like here: seen several times on lake Geneva (lac Leman) this autumn and winter, in a rather large mixed waterfowl flock. The flock often gathers and can be seen near the Rousseau island, in urban setting.
