Wood Duck Nest

While checking on the nesting goose at the pond I noticed a couple clumps down feathers near one of the nesting boxes. I had placed the nesting boxes at the pond several years ago but hadn't seen any nesting activity until today.



I checked the nesting box and found 14 eggs. I didn't see the wood ducks at the pond today but the hen should be ready to start sitting on the eggs soon.
