Field Notes

Description:

The wood ducks pass through in eth spring and fall, and although this is supposed to be their year-round range, they don't seem to stay in the neighborhood for long.

Habitat:

Look for Wood Ducks in wooded swamps, marshes, streams, beaver ponds, and small lakes. They stick to wet areas with trees or extensive cattails. As a cavity nester, Wood Ducks take readily to nest boxes.

Notes:

Spotted in a wooded detention/retention pond in an office building complex in Kennesaw, GA
