Hi Brettski,
Honestly, after seeing all those wood ducks, I've changed my mind on boxes. I'm not going to make any. Whatever is going on here, it's working and I'm not gonna get involved. hahaha
There are all sorts of hardwoods all around the lake and along the creek for miles and miles. Allot of them have holes in them that must be where they are nesting.
There's no telling how many flew by. 30 is just how many she counted in the lake while trying to get some pictures.
Their call is very eiry and spooky sounding, and while trying to get some pictures, we were surrounded by them calling. I'm a duck hunter, just not on my land, and the best part was watching them lock up and come in for a landing. Just one of those magical things I really enjoy.
According the the birder websites, we're on the boarder of migratory and permanent wood ducks. We've never seen them during summer, but allot of the ducs that fly by are too fast, or up too far to identify. Could be woodies here year round.
