Wingman,

When you say "Summer Duck" are you referring to a Wood Duck (Anas sponsa)? I've seen where a Wood Duck was also called a Summer Duck, but then I've seen people call a Greenhead a Summer Mallard.

Could that be a cross between a Drake Mallard and Hen Wood Duck or vice versa?

I don't know what a summer duck is. However a muscovy is a real duck. Look in a bird guide and you will see a muscovy.

this is a cross between a drake mallard, it's sister, a moscovie, a white duck, and there's probably a wood duck in there somewhere too.

There is a whole lot of cross breeding, inbreeding and bread eating going on with that duck. :)
