The Muscovy Ducks

Notice some yellow feet and some black. My Peterson Field Guide shows both. Yellow is the domestic variation, the black the ancestral variation. This is part of how I decided. So if I am wrong, please correct me on these ducks. And the 2nd and 3rd photographs could possibly be a different type. Please comment with any corrections.

Muscovy Ducks

These photographs were taken at the Hot Air Balloon Festival last Saturday. Not sure if I am correct about the type of duck, it was the best I could do with my reference books. Love his hair on top of his head.

Later in the evening I looked out at the 'lake', and they were all in a row, except the one that got left.
