Female Wood Duck
Female wood duck swimming (or wading) across what's left of 40 Acre Lake in Brazos Bend State Park
For years I've been told that wood ducks existed in this park, and this is the first one I've seen for myself. At this location, she should be swimming in about 3-4 feet (1+ m) of water, but the summer of 2023 has been so hot and dry, the entire lake has almost completely dried up.
