Wood duck — size comparison — facts and sources
The wood duck inhabits North American forest ponds, swamps and slow rivers. Males have colourful crested white-striped heads; females have pale eye surrounds. It eats seeds, fruit, aquatic plants and invertebrates.
It nests in hollows above or near quiet water. Soon after hatching chicks jump from elevated entrances and follow females. Groups are more common outside breeding.
