Description
FEMALE MUSCOVY DUCK
A juvenile female muscovy duck swims along a canal in South Florida on a brisk fall day. If I had to guess I would say that this duck is about six months old give or take and at an age when they can fend for themselves. Although independent, these ducks usually stay together in groups of two to five. The exception is when mother ducks are taking care of their young. Mother ducks usually become somewhat solitary when they have ducklings and stay away from their group until the ducklings are a little older.
