The one at Esther Simplot Park has been there continuously since at least September. It's there every day. There is also a pair of domestics, he's black, she's white. The Mallards tend to ignore them.

Kevin,
I don't know the history of this duck, but I believe we saw the same one on September 18 at Esther Simplot Park here in Boise.

While wild Muskovy Ducks in the wild are native to Mexico, Central and South America, they apparently show up in domesticated stocks in the US. If anyone is interested, there is a fine, friendly example at the Ann Morrison Park duck pond in Boise. Anyone know the history of this chap? It walked right up to me and walked right up to a nearby parked car as if expecting a treat.
