WOOD DUCK
No bird is more colorful than the male wood duck. His
crested head is an iridescent green with bold white facial
markings; the breast is red with white spots; the sides are
striped with gold; and his back is a metallic blue or purple.
The base of his relatively short bill and his eyes are bright red.
The gray female can be identified by her crested head and
white eye-ring. As their name implies, wood ducks prefer
mature riparian corridors along streams, quiet backwaters
of lakes and ponds bordered by large trees, and secluded
wooded swamps as the habitats for raising the young.
