Aquatic Birds

Beautiful Hybrid

There are 2 beautiful black & white domestic ducks at Cottonwood park. A farm breed called magpie ducks. However, there is something special about them. They are actually part muscovy. Check out the iridescent colors that show up on the back when the sun hits it. And there are red warts at the base of the bill. Very unique combination. Pretty blue eyes too.
