Ugly Duck
Turns out that this is a Muscovy duck, often domesticated, and bred for Fois gras, and for their tasty duck breasts--who knew that this unfamiliar breed is the one with which I am most familiar in another way?

The department's resident eco-critic/naturalist had seen them around, and knew without batting an eyelash. "Oh those are Muscovies. There are some who live up by Decker's Creek, too."
who knew?
