In my area, southern Illinois, me and fellow duck hunters do a yearly “river run” in February. We load the boats up with fresh sawdust, wood duck boxes to replace broken ones and clipboards to log the successful hatches. We all pic a different stretch of the river and map/log all our woodduck boxes, crazy duck hunters. 😂
There's 1 that stops by The Pond twice a year for the past 2 years, he actually just showed back up again on his winter migration. Woody has such mazing plumage and is only out done by Mandarin ducks and Norther Pintails.
The first Wood Duck I ever saw was perched in a tree with his mate. I thought “ducks don’t perch in trees.” I noted it in my journal and went home to reference my Peterson field guide. Sure enough, when I turned to the plate for Wood Ducks the first sentence in their description was “often perches in trees.” I knew then that I had seen my first Wood Duck I the field. They’re a very cool bird.
When I was a kid, we had squirrels living in the oak trees on a terrace between our deck and the lake down below. One year, the wood ducks took over the nest, which meant that the squirrels would never come back. The only interesting part of it was watching the babies drop from the nest down to the ground when they were ready to hit the lake
There's a pond near where i live that has several pairs of wood ducks. They are the prettiest ducks i have seen. The head crest of the male looks so cool.
My wife just spotted some wood ducks show up in our front yard this morning. We have some huge Sycamore trees that they use for laying and brooding their eggs. The holes are at least 40 feet high, maybe higher. It is amazing how the ducklings can take such high leaps and so shortly after hatching! Loved your video.
I’ve never heard anyone call these Carolina ducks which is surprising because I’m from South Carolina. Turns out people in the UK call them that because they are native to the Carolinas were first discovered here and are plentiful here. I’m also glad these things didn’t go extinct I love hunting them. They are the best tasting duck in my opinion.
Could you make an episode on Caracaras pleeaaaase ? I love those birds. Kinda like a mix of the regal-ness of birds of prey and the cheeky-ness of corvids
That's quite the interesting scientific name... although I wonder what wedding dresses those scientist saw 🤔😂 Nice use of recycling homes... intriguing the females return to the same nest. You guys used some epic footage of the nest box! Thanks for another great video guys! 💚
Used to love these ducks. Quite pretty, both make and female.

Mallards actually perch in trees too.
