Wood Duck female These ducks live up to their name of wood, by nesting in holes high up in trees. The tiny chicks, before they can even fly, jump down from the tree to follow mom to the pond where they immediately begin to eat on their own. Their mom never feeds them, but does keep an eye on them as they grow up. Aix sponsa,Canada,Geotagged,Wood duck Click/tap to enlarge
