[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At the Beaver Marsh in the CVNP in Ohio we were lucky enough to have three nesting pairs of Wood Ducks. Of these pairs we had a total of 12 ducklings. Most of these ducklings have survived and have made their home in the Beaver Marsh.

Wood Duck Info

A colorful duck of wooded swamps and streamsides, the Wood Duck is one of only a few North American ducks that nest in trees. Many people consider it to be the most beautiful of all waterfowl.

Cool Facts

Natural cavities for nesting are scarce, and the Wood Duck readily uses nest boxes provided for it. If nest boxes are placed too close together, many females lay eggs in the nests of other females. These "dump" nests can have up to 40 eggs.
