She is looking for his beautiful male because Wood Ducks pair up in January, and most birds arriving at the breeding grounds in the spring are already paired. The Wood Duck is the only North American duck that regularly produces two broods in one year. he oldest recorded Wood Duck was a male and at least 22 years, 6 months old. He had been banded in Oregon and was found in California.

Often thought the Wood Duck was the best looking for all ducks. Had one fall into my fireplace once and needed help to let it fly away free.
