Wood Ducks

The first time I saw a wood duck I was awestruck. I had seen pictures of them yes, but seeing one was unreal. At first I wondered if I was seeing a live duck...it just sat there moving with the water.

You might check to see if they are in your location. In the US, it seems the largest concentration is in the Southeast, though they certainly can be found in other areas...for instance, I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

Happy Birding!
