[mou] Wood Duck Box Activity

[Sharon Stiteler]

For the last week we've been counting the eggs being laid in our wood duck
box behind the bird store.  Before I open the box I take a photo inside the
entrance hole with my digital camera to see if a hen is inside.  Since we
had seen wood ducks in the area we assumed that was the species laying eggs
inside the box.  Today when I snapped the photo I discovered that we
actually have a female hooded merganser inside the box.

If you want to see the photo you can view it here:
