Description

Wood ducks, like other birds, molt in the fall, and this wood drake had just gotten his brand new feathers and was looking beautiful! Here he had just taken a dive under the water to look for food, and was shaking some of the water off afterwards.

From Cornell: "These birds live in wooded swamps, where they nest in holes in trees or in nest boxes put up around lake margins. They are one of the few duck species equipped with strong claws that can grip bark and perch on branches."
