I have never seen so many wood ducks in my life... everytime I walk out in the woods scouting spring turkeys near a creek here I bump more wood ducks than I've ever seen...
Whatever conservation effort was put in place.. where ever... good on ya...
any one else notice an increase in breeding birds this spring?
I did notice that this past season, I saw very few while hunting and shot exactly one. Normally we'd get 5-6 of them, this hunting out in the marsh.. If we hit the timber a lot, its almost a sure thing.
The most wood ducks I've ever seen was when I lived in SC and we'd see groups of 20+... normally a big wad around where I hunt is four.
