Sorry, forgot to input the spotting date.
Sarah, this is a Muscovy Duck which is native to Mexico and Central and South America. They are a heavy breed and have claws that allow them to roost in trees. The drake has a low breathy call, and the hen a quiet trilling coo. They do not quack like other breeds of ducks. They are very personable and enjoy human contact. I am a farmer and have 5 adults and 9 ducklings on the farm.
