The Woodduck

Tales from the Backyard…  One of the favorite things we used to do as a family was to drive through Carlos Avery Wildlife Sanctuary and look for wildlife in the evenings.  It had Deer, Bear, Pheasants, Grouse and thousands of ducks.  One day as we were driving my dad stopped the car and said “there’s a Wood duck in that tree.  I was 4 or 5 at the time.  After much coaching as to where it was, I finally saw it and after watching for awhile, shouted, “It’s not a wood duck. I just saw it move”.
