Wood duck males are among the most colorful birds in America. This one was swimming in the ponds in the Sacramento area during the 2016-2017 winter season, one of the wettest on record. They are called wood ducks because they nest in trees and their young have to jump out of the tree onto the ground to get to the water for the first time. Their call is somewhat of a whistling sound.
