🌎 Wood duck (Aix sponsa) ♂ The wood duck or Carolina duck (Aix sponsa) is a striking North American duck. Males boast iridescent greens, purples, and whites, while females are more subdued with brown and gray feathers. They inhabit wooded swamps, ponds, and lakes, often nesting in tree cavities. These dabbling ducks feed on aquatic plants, insects, and seeds. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by wam17 via Pixabay QPDE
