Why Australian Wood Ducks are Different? Australian Wood Ducks make nest in tree hollows instead of on the ground or water, form permanent monogamous pairs, & prefer to forage for food on land by grazing rather than swimming. These behaviors set them apart from many other duck species, allowing them to adapt to both natural & human-altered environments across Australia.

Wood Ducks are year-round residents in Southwest Florida. In winter their numbers swell with visitors from the north. These beautiful birds prefer wetland habitats with large trees that overhang the water and typically nest in tree cavities. They eat a lot of seeds and acorns as well as a variety of wetland plants, insects, and grain. Visitors have reported seeing them at the Sanctuary this past week.
