Wood Ducks are one of my favorite species of waterfowl for a couple of reasons. Like most ducks their plumage is beautiful and very colorful, and secondly, they nest in tree cavities, making them even more interesting to watch as they raise their young.

It’s a beautiful thing to watch them circle and land, at least 10 to 20 at a time.
