Wood Duck chicks and their parents seem to prefer this part of the lake. A few posts back I featured an adult female on the same log keeping an eye on her young. The wood duck is the only duck in North America that produces two broods a year. As we’ve had many adult pairs at the lake this summer we’re seeing a lot of chicks, more than any other species.

I have only seen Wood Ducks once or twice around here…we mostly get Mallards.

They return to our area in early spring and usually leave by the first frost. There is a group of resident mallards at the lake who tough out the winter.

I wish we had more than the occasional one in our part of the country. Nice photo of the watchful mama and child.
