Muscovy Ducks can fly but prefer to walk. It's rare to see them fly.

This one got tired of me being a paparazzi and took off. I was surprised I was able to capture its flight.

Nice! I like how you were able to capture the green sheen on the feathers. I've been trying for 2yrs to capture the pretty green of my black Cayuga ducks but it is tough to get the right light and angle!

Thanks snaphappy!

It was overcast when we went for our bike ride. I was taking close ups of two Muscovy Ducks under a tree when this one decided to fly off. Usually I have trouble focusing on dark objects unless the camera is in manual, but this happened so quick, I didn't have time to switch over. Surprisingly, I only had to delete one shot.
