Do you know what kind of duck he is? I first saw these at a lake in Tallahassee, and thought it was the homeliest birdie I had ever seen.
and I think Goose.
ps. kidding
Is it a Muscovy duck?
I love Muscovy ducks. He is lovely. I used to breed these birds, years ago and they are such entertaining characters… Thanks for bringing back some fond memories.. cheers Kim
Yikes! Happy WW!
That is one ugly duckling LOL.
Love it…great quote for this picture!

awwww, I want to bring him home, but my yard is only 5 metres along each side, so nowhere near enough space.
An Ugly Duckling!
What a beautiful spirit!
I think he’s the one the book was written about! Great capture.
Wow. Certainly, um…cute?
Who’m I kidding – yeow!
Maybe it’s not a beauty but at least it looks funny !
Awwww……
Reckon they taste like chicken?
I see it…I truly see the love! I see the swan!
I think he’s kinda cute! 🙂
LOL Now THAT is a great comment for this photo. Don’t we all have days like that?
It is a Muscovy…in case you still have any question…and they are ugly! Still, you gotta love them 🙂
Almost looks like a turkey!
Did you take that picture? If so, you’re quite the shutterbug! Great expression his face!
You’ve pushed me off my rock of inertia to reach into my archives and share a photo with a similar theme. The backstory:
I was shooting tree roots on Christmas morning (the first image from that series is actually my latest blog entry…freaky coincidence!) and in the process had gotten completely lost in my camera. In between calculating exposures, composing for texture and trying to avoid losing my balance, I had no idea what was going on around me.
Suddenly I heard something, and wheeled around to see two muscovy ducks – common around these Florida parts, apparently – wandering through the grass barely three feet from me. They paused, then nonchalantly continued their stroll.
So I rapidly changed tactics and followed them for a minute or two not because I needed more bird pics in my archives, but because I had just had one of those moments that just begged to be remembered.
I’ll find a way to include one in this week’s theme run. Thanks for the push.
Love the duck! When we were newlyweds, we lived down the street from a spring-fed pond that stayed open all year (no easy feat in cold Wisconsin!). One winter there was an incredibly ugly and extra large duck. Later that year, yes indeed, we found it was a tundra swan, the most incredibly beautiful bird I’d ever seen up close.
