horrible quality and distant screen shot from movie made with iPhone 5S
Observation details
White eye ring and tuft on back of head of gray mother; glamorous multicolored father wheeting alarm overhead. Photographed the distant mother and babies swimming in a line on my phone, but I accidentally made a movie, which I can forward. Movie shows mother's shaggy head rocking back and forth as she swims but eye ring is not visible: too distant. In August 2017, Luanne Johnson reported on Checklist S38917729 that Wood Ducks nest here and her sighting is included on species maps. My father Richard Emmet (died 2007) observed Wood Ducks on this pond every year from 1988 through 2006.
