Photo of the Month: Wood Duck

Sent in by Larry Kirtley, this photo of a Wood Duck drake in his breeding plumage is so vibrant it’s almost as if he’s a painting.
Wood Ducks will find their mates in January and arrive at their breeding grounds in the spring already paired. This species is one of the few North American Ducks that nest in trees.
Thanks for sharing this fabulous image, Larry!
