The Courage Of Wood Ducks

The North American wood duck is one of the most striking and beautiful of all waterfowl. I remember the first time I saw a wood duck in real life. I stared at it in awe as it didn't seem to be real. It was like looking at a painted sculpture floating on the water. While all birds are beautiful in their own right, wood ducks are truly living works of art. I'm excited to share with you some unique behaviors about the wood duck that may surprise you. In this video, we'll cover some of the basics and then get into what really sets this bird apart from other water fowl, and how wood ducks have tremendous courage.
