Male wood ducks have a crested head that is
iridescent green and purple with a white stripe leading from the
eye to the end of the crest and another, narrower white stripe
from the base of the bill to the tip of the crest. The throat is
white and the chest is burgundy with white flecks, gradually
grading into a white belly. The bill is brightly patterned black,
white, and red. The legs and feet are dull straw-yellow, and the
iris is red. The male call is a thin, high, rising
"jeeeeee." Female wood ducks have a gray-brown head and
neck with a brownish, green glossed crest. A white teardrop
shaped patch surrounds the brownish-black eye. The throat is
white and the breast is gray-brown stippled with white fading
into the white belly. The back is olive-brown with a shimmer of
iridescent green. The bill is blue-gray and the legs and feet are
dull grayish-yellow. Females utter a drawn-out, rising squeal,
"oo-eek" when flushed, and a sharp "cr-r-ek,
cr-e-ek" for an alarm call.
Wood ducks breed across most of the central and eastern USA and
southeastern Canada and along the Pacific coast from California
to British Columbia. The highest breeding densities occur in the
Mississippi Alluvial Valley. In recent decades, the breeding
range has expanded westward into the Great Plains region
following development of wooded riparian corridors. Wood ducks
prefer riparian habitats, wooded swamps, and freshwater marshes.
Females nest in tree cavities or nest boxes and lay an average of
12 bone-white eggs.
In eastern and western US about 30% and 75% of wood ducks are
permanent residents. Migratory wood ducks use the Atlantic Flyway
from New Brunswick to Georgia and south to eastern Texas, and the
West Indies. The western migratory birds use the Pacific Flyway
from British Columbia to the Central Valley of California. Both
populations winter over southern portions of their respective
breeding ranges, with small numbers southwards to central Mexico.
No clearly defined migratory path exists for interior birds,
although they seem to converge south of Kentucky along the
Mississippi River floodplain. Generally, wintering habitat
differs little from habitats used at other times of the year.
Wood ducks predominantly use forested wetlands with a variety of
hardwood tree species. Wood ducks are resident in Cuba and are
scarce winter visitors to Mexico and Bermuda. They occasionally
winter in the Cayman Islands (Scott and Carbonell, 1986).
Reliable estimates of wood duck populations do not exist due to
the difficulty of surveying birds in forested habitat, although
data from the Breeding Bird Survey (1966-1994) and Christmas Bird
Count (1959-1988) indicate increasing populations in nearly all
regions of North America.

Internet Prices & Availability
Because the art market is constantly in a state
of instability, with new releases coming out and other ones selling out,
We will try to this site as up to date as possible on price changes
and when art sells out. Prices and availability of artwork do change overnight
sometimes and very unexpectedly, so there is no way to guarantee that the piece
you ordered on our web site is available. We will always contact you and refund
you immediately if there is a problem. There is a 20% Restocking Fee.
