Field Notes

Description:

Black waterfowl. Green sheen. White feather in wing.

Habitat:

Green neighborhood along a large canal

Notes:

*It's come to my attention that this is ALSO a Muscovy duck! Such a range of colors. I also hear the white ones are more tasty than the blacks ones. Weird the things you learn on Wiki.

Scoter would be pretty unlikely on land. I'm guessing Muscovy
