Richard Wagner,
Muscovy ducks are good flyers, much better than wild turkeys for example. I
have seen ours fly as a flock 100-150 feet high and for 1.25 miles (circular
route).
The can also dive. One I observed a large unidentifiable bird approaching
the pond. The ducks recognized it the same time as I did and they all dived
below the surface scattering underwater. They eventually popped up about 100+
feet. THe bird was a bald eagle. They are not frightened by large hawks or
vultures so they can distinguish species and not just
size. |
