Males are iridescent chestnut and green, with ornate patterns on nearly every feather; the elegant females have a distinctive profile and delicate white pattern around the eye. The male wood duck is one of the most recognizable birds in the United States. The markings of the male wood duck include red eyes and a red bill with a yellow patch at the base. The top of the bird's head and crest are a metallic purplish-green. The sides of the face are black, and a white stripe runs along the neck. A small white stripe also extends up each cheek.The chest and the rump are dark red, and the sides are a drab yellowwith black and white stripes at the edges.The wood duck's belly is white, its tail and back are black, and its wings are black and blue. The males do not have the decorative markings all year-round. They use the colorful markings to attract females during the breeding season, which runs from autumn until the early summer. In the late summer, they grow gray feathers with blue markings on the wings and white markings on the face and neck. You can still recognize the bird as a wood duck by its red eyes and bill. Alex Ostrow fromMonroe recently took these photos of the wood ducks in Pennsylvania.
