This is a juvenile wood duck that we just finished treating at NEWC 🙂 Wood ducks live mostly in swampy, marshy, or heavily forested areas. Their nests can be found in trees either overlooking or in close proximity to a body of water. They mostly eat seeds, fruits, and insects, and while they primarily find food in the water, they will also sometimes go searching for acorns and nuts on land.
