    Wood Duck

    This park is part of a wood duck nesting box program. Usually not easy to find, we were surprised to see several dozen pairs of these colorful but wary North American endemic waterfowl. They prefer wooded swamps where they often hide in deep shade. The female has a decidedly understated look...

    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.

    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!
