Wood Ducks

As a young waterfowler wood ducks were impossible to harvest in Minnesota, no birds, no season.  College years in Minnesota  there were a few but not many.  Now the birds are plentiful.

At the Ghost Ranch we raise probably a dozen to two dozen broods every summer.   At Pamelot we raise less than 5 broods per summer.   Nesting boxes are plentiful.  We do what we can to help increase numbers and we take our responsibility to control snapping turtle numbers very serious.

Here is a couple of pictures we were lucky to get.  Enjoy!
