Thanks, SeEtta. Always nice to hear from you. The information you sent is consistent with my Sunday note. One needs to know where one is standing to use the correct name for Muscovy Duck on a checklist.
Most in Texas are domestic and live outside that short segment of the Rio Grande Valley, so are described as: Muscovy Duck (Domestic type) (*Cairina moschata* (Domestic type)) As you described, "wild" Muscovy Ducks occur upstream from Roma, Texas (easiest to see near Salineño, below Falcon Dam) and fly back and forth across the river. I consider them part of the "Central and South American (except for Patagonia)" population I mentioned, with the name: "Muscovy Duck (*Cairina moschata*)". Please pass the orange sauce.
