The Muscovy Duck is a large, heavy duck with strong feet and a long tail. Wild birds are dark and glossy, but feral domestic birds are often black-and-white and have extensive red facial skin. The species is native from Mexico through tropical South America. It nests naturally in tree cavities and perches more readily than most ducks. Males are much larger than females.
Locations where this species is supported by a dated first record, an unambiguous single-place outing or a reviewed assignment.
