    The wood duck or Carolina duck is a species of duck found only in North America. The specimen photographed by me seems to have escaped from a western europe particular collection and migrated here in Vacaresti Nature Park in Romania.

    This is a male. One of the more colorful but wary North American endemic ducks, I like the way the iridescent violet color glows on the chest and the bright red eye in this photo. They prefer wooded swamps where they often hide in deep shade. This one was perched with a female on a horizontal...

    In the large freeze we had this winter there were about 70 ducks coming to our creek everyday for a week, because all of the ponds that they are normally on where froze. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/308172371

    Male wood duck, breeding plumage

    Simply a stunner of a bird. I traveled to a wetlands a bit farther north and west of my usual spots this weekend specifically to see this duck, as they had bred there in pretty good numbers last year and I was hoping they'd be back again this year. They are!

    This is a female with a decidedly understated look compared to the more showy males. These females closely resemble the Mandarin Duck of Asia which has been introduced in the wild in some areas and frequently escapes from avicultural collections in North America. Notice the much larger...

    Took a walk on Christmas Day afternoon and found this stunning male Wood Duck in the middle of a pond on a neighbor's ranch. The lighting was perfect! We often see a pair of Wood Ducks fly over our property, heading in the direction of this ranch, but there was no female with him this time.
