"THE BACHELOR"
Wood Duck (Male) - 7 Photos
The male Wood Duck depicted in the following photos is consistently in an area also frequented by a pair of Wood Ducks, presumably in a partnership. Unfortunately, this handsome fellow, whom I have seen on several occasions now, appears to be alone without a mate & extremely wary.
Unlike the pair, he is constantly on the move (which explains the difference of lighting & background in the photos) and is in one area for only short periods. Perhaps, he is off to other venues hoping to find a mate in time to join up & then find a suitable nesting site for egg laying.
One thing is for certain, it's certainly not "looks" that could be holding him back.
