wood ducks
Tree-nesting pond birds
Wood ducks are colorful North American waterfowl known for the male's iridescent plumage—greens, purples, and whites in striking patterns.
Unlike most ducks, they nest in tree cavities near water and perch on branches.
We spotted wood ducks at the pond this morning.
