A female wood duck (Aix sponsa) swims in a channel of the wetlands of the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, Washington. Wood ducks typically breed in wooded swamps, shallow lakes, marshes or ponds, and creeks in the eastern United States and along the west coast from Washington state into Mexico. They usually nest in cavities in trees close to water. Unlike most other ducks, the wood duck has sharp claws for perching in trees.
