They're elusive, beautiful and strange birds. Native to North America, 100 years ago it seemed likely wood ducks would go the way of the passenger pigeon. They were hunted relentlessly for their beautiful feathers and the unique habitat they require was being destroyed quickly. Today wood ducks are one of the great conservation success stories and one of the most beautiful sights to behold if you’re lucky enough to see them.
