It's also still snowing by you as well. Every time we think that winter has passed we get a little more white stuff. There is some snow in the forecast for today.
Do you see many wood ducks by you.
I've only ever seen one and when I did I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I knew it was a duck, but when it flew off and literally attached itself to the side of a tree, I figured that couldn't possible be a duck, they don't land in trees.
When I mentioned what I had seen to a neighbor, he said that it was a Wood duck.
Ducks in trees always seem odd to me, too! This one was on a big beach high up in an oak tree. I see them occasionally and am always delighted when I do spot them. They are really shy and don't let me get close.
The only other wood duck I've ever seen are the ones they use for decoys to lure in an unsuspecting #featheredfriend. 😥
They are not uncommon to see here by the river, but they are very wary. This is a through the window shot.
Wow what a great picture! The Wood Duck that I saw must have been a female, it was not nearly as colorful as this one.
What a magnificent bird.
