Talk about Colourful

The Wood Duck would be the most colourful ducks that we have and are equipped with sharp claws that enable them to perch in trees.

Other ducks are ground nesters but these ducks use tree cavities. They commonly use nest boxes that have been constructed and placed along rivers and ponds.

Osprey returned to the nest with some grass to add to the nest…I suppose this will add some comfort for the long day’s of incubation that I believe has begun.

Now it’s time to sit back and wait for chicks to hatch…there will be the odd chance of seeing the male around if my timing is right.

Other wise it will be hit and miss as far as seeing much action.
