Last summer I started planning on putting a Wood Duck nesting box in a swampy area of our property. After studying the swamp for placement of the nest box, I found a spot in the water surrounded by Tussock Sedge mounds. The big problem with this location was accessing it to drive in a support post. My plan was to wait until the swamp freezes in the winter, drill a hole in the ice and then drive the support post in. The only problem was lack of ice this winter. Today's temperature was 59F and the Wood Ducks will soon be here looking for nesting sites. I put on my chest waders and trudged through the swamp muck to install the nesting box today.
