REFEM Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi all, Can anyone please help me identify this bird? I saw it today in a marshy area in a park in Charlotte, NC. It is mostly black with some white in the wings and a white head, and red / orange color around the eyes. I am thinking Muscovy Duck but the photos I have found online seem to vary quite a bit. Sorry the photos aren’t the best. Thanks in advance for any help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarscadden Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 this will not ID this bird exactly but I have seen all sorts of Muscovy ducks so it it does not exactly what you have found online...that in my opinion would not rule it out. For me the bill area is the best field mark...red and "wrinkled" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 This is indeed a Muscovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yes, domestic Muscovy Duck. They are quite variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
