Species Account:
I spotted these ducks twice in the park in Nampa, ID: once on 5/29/2023 and another time on 6/2/2023. The first time I didn't get a good view of them but could make out the red on their faces a bit and their mostly black bodies: there was two at that time. The second time I saw them, I was able to get really close and get some really detailed photos of them. I was a bit confused by what they were because of their strange features but was able to research them and find out that they are (most likely) Muscovy ducks.
