How are wood ducks today?
Conservative bag limits and artificial nesting sites greatly aided the comeback of the wood duck. But like all wildlife, the wood duck’s continued survival depends upon conservation of habitat, which in this case includes the forests along streams, rivers and shorelines known as riparian forests. Riparian forests not only provide homes for wood ducks, they also protect stream banks, improve water quality, and provide homes for other wildlife. They offer us a place to experience the beauty of nature; the beauty of wood ducks.
