It was slightly smaller than the Canada Geese a few feet away, and had a large, blood-red knob above its bill, like that of a Common Shelduck, but considerably bigger. It actually looked like nothing so much as a cross between a goose and a chicken!" I was also at Centennial Park in HoCo yesterday. The very strange looking bird was a Muscovy Duck, a poultry breed originating in South America.
