The dead tree is getting unstable. I shall have to move it after the season is over. I hesitate to move it now. I have to find another tree facing south. The good ones have the other two boxes. What do you think?
The box needs a bit of a guard. The shaving fall out if I inspect it. I meant to fix that last year. sigh.
The poor dead tree!
Six lovely eggs. Ah well. They will lay more.
The wood ducks have been busy. This is a good sign. The males still chase the other males away from their females.

...wood ducks are such beauties. Enjoy your spring, we could get a bit of snow this weekend!
The wood ducks are beautiful, love them! Take care, enjoy your day!
I do hope you get some Wood Duck babies!
The geese, they are such beauties, regal and so graceful . Weather, 5 Celsius here, maybe snow further south, the fire is lit!!!
it looks like some of your mama woods ducks had some confusion or else they are not very smart.
They say nature is doing much better with humans staying home.
Jenn - you perform such an excellent service for these wood ducks. Could you build a 'fake' tree to replace the one that has become unstable? Thanks for publishing these fascinating videos!
They do have wood duck boxes on posts in many spots around here, Angie. It's a thought. I don't know where to get them, though. I could put it in a different spot next year. I'm just having trouble with decisions these days, though!
