Wood Duck Landing

The Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) is a flamboyant and colorful species of North American waterfowl. Wood Ducks feed by dabbling and they are strong fliers and can reach speeds of 30 mph. They are one of only a few ducks that have claws on their feet, allowing them to perch and nest in trees. They tend to build their nests within one mile of a lake shore, river bank, or other body of water. Egg-dumping, or intraspecific brood parasitism is common in Wood Ducks This woody was photographed while landing at White Rock Lake in Dallas Texas.
