WILDLIFE GALLERY : DUCK AND LOON DECOYS
Wood
Duck Hen Decoy
The adult wood
duck male has distinctive multi-colored iridescent plumage and red eyes. The
female, less colourful, has a white eye-ring and a whitish throat. Both adults
have crested heads. When swimming, wood ducks bob their head back and forth
in a jerking motion, which makes them easy to spot. These birds feed by dabbling
or walking on land. They mainly eat berries and seeds, but also insects. The
male's call is a rising whistle; the female gives a whistled whoo-eek if startled.
