Chasing Wood Ducks at the Dinky Line Trail

Back at the Dinky Line Trail chasing Wood Ducks — close but never quite close enough.

Another nesting season for #WoodDuck #AixSponsa #WODU and #HoodedMerganser #LophodytesCucullatus #HOME is chugging along at Huntley Meadows Park. We have 4 boxes with clutches incubating, and eggs in another 4 boxes. Box #62 (pictured) was replaced this year, and already has a clutch of 10 eggs, with perhaps more to come. We expect hatching in late April-early May.
