They are strange ducks, aren't they? I think my favorite is the picture where he is standing on the water bucket. I also like the pair, I don't think I have seen a pair together before, now I will know the difference....well, usually the male is the most brightly colored, but maybe in this case it's the female? Phil and his brothers had some as teenagers, their dad ordered a bunch
They are lovely! I went out for a nice long walk today, as the temperatures here were comfortable. It was great! I went to a nature park and saw a couple of alpacas, some horses, goats and ducks, geese and seagulls. It was fantastic! The walk in nature and the fresh air did me good. :)
Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.

Not a duck we see - and delightful. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteLovely shots of these ducks Denise
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who described these as 'unfinished'. When I asked why she remarked that they reminded her of unfinished paintwork. Strange person!
ReplyDeletethat first shot is awesome. our Muscovy here don't have as much black and white, they are more like the sold black in the second pic...
ReplyDeleteThey're always such a 'silent' bird. And a wonderful part of our nature ... great images Denise.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking in at I'd Rather B Birdin'. The post was wonderful. Your photos are terrific for all of us birders this weekend!!
It looks like you had them cornered. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I remember a collection took up refuge around Lake Siri one winter. People would bring them some scratch feed (I did this, too).
ReplyDeleteBut that winter was so harsh, one by one they disappeared.

I always like seeing these crazy looking ducks. So ugly they're cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen ducks like those. The coloring is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, The bird in the first photo is so fun.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen Muscovy Ducks before. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey seem quite aware of you.
ReplyDeleteThey are all good to look at but that first photo is my favourite, just love how you've caught it in your picture.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
