Muscovy Duck

Cairina moschata

Overview

Arenal is the atlas park where the Muscovy Duck is recorded, with records gathering most thickly in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil and Honduras. This atlas holds about 346,000 open records of the bird from 20 countries, and its map follows where these records concentrate.

Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the seasons for the Muscovy Duck differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Muscovy Duck as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
