Description
Catrina moschata.
Wild Muscovy Ducks are black in color. Domesticated ones have different patterns. You don't find wild ones in the United States. This beautiful bird lives at Fort Lowell Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA. It was probably a pet that someone left there because they could no longer care for it. Muscovy Ducks are used for food.

cool looking red-faced bandit!
...which is probably why I've never seen one of these :) What a beautiful looking bird... such pretty markings and the black and white feathers are really something! I like the lighting you've captured this little guy in... really brings out his beauty!
Lovely photo capture!
