Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)

Males features a spectacular iridescent green-and-white crested head, a reddish-brown (chestnut) breast with white spots, golden flanks, and striking red eyes. Unlike most ducks, they have sharp claws for perching on tree branches and broad tails to maneuver through dense forests.
