I'd also like to know about Muscovy Ducks, specifically the ones at Patterson Park. On eBird, I've seen them counted as actual Muscovies, domestic Muscovies, or not counted at all. Obviously the angry white one is domestic and probably shouldn't be counted :) ....but the other ones almost look like wild types. If we're counting Eurasian Collared-Doves and Monk Parakeets, what about Muscovies? Basically -- where does one draw the line with exotics?

Not too concerned, but it would be a new county bird if acceptable.
