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.

Back to the fall visit at St.Vital Park and playing with Wood Ducks…incoming male as he’s about to touch down.

When time is short one wants to make the best of it…visiting St.Vital Park is always a sure bet for action.
