Interesting bird.  Head looks like a turkey vulture!  Really nice and clear!

Great shot.  But what is it?

It's a muscovy duck.   They are tropical birds, native to Mexico, and a domestic variety has been bred for centuries in southern Mexico.   This one is wild, but really isn't afraid of me, since I spend a lot of time at the pond and he's gotten used to me.
