: As for the muscovy duck, they are not ABA countable yet. They are only countable in Texas.
: Even though their numbers throughout Florida is a couple thousnad, maybe even 10,000, they are not countable. I guess it may be because of their dependanance on public parks and canals.

The Muscovy Ducks are much more numerous than that. I expect the Miami-Dade population alone easily exceeds 10,000.
Even though reporting is still spotty and the area covered is small, the last Christmas Count found 2741 in 36 count circles statewide.
