We hadn’t seen much on our walk but as often happens, we had better luck as we were heading back. I’ve only seen wood ducks once before this year so I was very happy to come across this female duck and one of her young.
Thank you for this, Lynette. The article confirms some of my suspicions. It was encouraging to hear that some progress is being made to turn things around.

Thank you, Tone! As summer moves along they’re no longer skittish and they’ll often ‘sit’ for you.

Thank you, Lynette 😊. I find that I’m not seeing the usual number or variety of birds this year, which has me wondering why…

I’ve been reading that unfortunately, their numbers are dropping. Here’s an article you might find interesting.
