We have plenty of these ducks here Chuck. They are Muscovy Ducks. They are in parking lots that have canals and neighborhoods that have lakes.
You have a nice captured pose of this duck looking at you. Focus is a tad soft but it is still a fine Capture of this Muscovy Hen.

HI.. what a fabulous photo of this gallent looking duck .. Your photo is nicely balanced and in perfect focus. The feathers on her chest and the lovely red framing around her head provide a nice touch of colour amid the greenery which borders the photo. The wing and tail feathers blend well with the bark and sticks scattered underneath her. Great clarity and a welcoming photo.. thanks for sharing your duck.. who won the staring competition... best of luck in the contest.. cheers mel

Who's giving who the eye :-) Thanks MK.

Comment from michiganmike
A very nice looking shot. Although I did not see any like it on my recent visit to Florida, I think it is a Muscovy duck. A well composed shot with excellent detail and fine colors.

The FAR Uploader May have gotten you. This image is a bit blurred. I wonder what kind of duck this with the turkey looking pink on its head. Nice composition and framing. Must lose a lot of eggs with them being right on the ground. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

This is such a great photo. Love the expression on the duck. He has an interesting head. Great lighting and great framing. Looks like he/she is sitting on some eggs perhaps. Thank for sharing.
