Wood Ducks!

For our projects, we focused on the research life of the wood duck. We all had an interest in cool looking birds, and after searching for a species we could find here, we settled on the wood duck because of it's unique color and habitat. We decided that we wanted to build a nest for wood ducks and see if we could house any. Deciding behind hidden creek aqua park was the best place since it is a wetland with vegetation, we built the nest to certain dimensions and placed it in the vegetation behind the aqua park. We waited a week and returned, but sadly, the nest was gone. There was evidence of wildlife interacting with the area, but the nest itself disappeared. Despite this, we still learned a lot about the species and that we would have had a better chance to house one a little later in the season this year
