WOOD DUCKS (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

32 Comments

There are many wood duck pairs at the lake this spring, it should be a good year for them. I was told that a wood duck had been seen entering a nest in a tree trunk whose previous tenant had been a woodpecker. It shouldn’t be too long before we see the first ducklings.

    Aren’t they a handsome couple. 🙂 I saw my first wood ducks yesterday at a pond in Albany. I never see them here in the country, so I was surprised to see them in the middle of a city park!

    Gorgeous shots, Belinda. I am surprised that a duck would go into a trunk of a tree to nest..(or whatever they were doing 😊)

    I’ve never seen these in the wild, Belinda — thanks for the pics. (Guess I don’t hang out in the right spots.) Truly eye-catching.

    Beautiful! Nice catch of the shimmer on the female’s head. I hope you get to see some chicks soon.
