Southern Ontario Birder
My uncle has a farm which has about 30 ponds. It is a hobby farm, and he bought it "as is". On the first few ponds there are hoards of Muscovy Ducks, and 2 Harlequinn Ducks. This farm is in Southern Ontario.
My peterson guide has both of these species, but not listed for this area, so I am guessing these are domestics, as they don't leave the ponds.
My question is, how can one differentiate domestics from wild birds? These birds look exactly the same as the ones in my guide.
