Young drake resembles the female. Range — ''North America at large, but chiefly in the United States, breeding throughout its range, wintering chiefly in the south." (Coues.) Season — Summer resident. This most beautiful of all our ducks, if not of all American birds, in the opinion of many, that Linnaeus named the bride {sponsa), although it is the groom that is particularly festive in rich apparel and flowing, veil-like crest, confines itself to this continent exclusively ; neither has it a c...ounterpart in Europe or Asia as most of our other ducks have. It is an independent little III I River and Pond Ducks creature with a set way of doing things quite apart, many of them, from family traditions. For instance, it nests in trees rather than on the ground and walks about the limbs like any song bird; it never quacks, but has a musical call all its own ; the lovers do not cease to be such after the incubation begins — ^to name only a few of the wood duck's peculiarities. Arriving from the south, already mated, in April, a couple prepare to spend the summer with us by selecting a home im- mediately; an abandoned hole where an owl, a woodpecker, a squirrel, or a blackbird has once nested, answers admirably; or, if such a one be not available, the twigs, grasses, leaves, and feathers that would have lined an excavation are woven into a loose, bulky nest placed among the branches.
