I knew that I could count the introduced Muscovy Ducks in front of me but did I want to? You see, Muscovy Ducks are countable in the American Birding Association area due to wild birds from Central America making their way up into Texas. The birds in Florida, on the other hand, are of domestic stock gone feral. .*

Lesser Whistling Ducks are “not threatened by hunting as they are not considered good to eat” ( Wikipedia ). Lucky ducks. If you take a feral pigeon, bleach it and then batik it using the right colors, the result might be a Pink-necked Green Pigeon (1).

So there was no traffic, no noise, and each day we awoke to the drama of the creatures who lived right outside our door. I've written about the much-maligned Muscovy ducks before , and at our old house this time of year I was usually inundated with rescue situations and of course my patio often had images like this.

They are about the same length (NL 6.2in / 158mm; EL 6.3in / 160mm) and weight (NL 30oz / 850g; EL 29.6oz / 840g), and obviously, the same lens diameter, hence, they should feel the same, right? So I watched an unknown duck now, quite bright, clearly a male. Nothing can be more wrong.

It is time for the Florida Ornithological Society to allow for the counting of Feral Chickens.

The National Park is unusual because it offers very few facilities compared to most, but there is a sealed road right into the small car park and a shade shelter with a table and chairs and information about the park. The Silver Gulls, Caspian, Gull-billed and Whiskered Terns were further away and the variety of ducks was incredible.
