Years ago a pair of wood ducks nested in the cavity of a tree just a small distance from the front door of our house. They were rather shy and in order to get a glimpse of them I had to be very quiet and make no sudden moves. I never could figure out just why they nested here as the closest water is a small lake at the end of the street about 1/4 mile away. The tree with the cavity is still here but I have never again seen the wood ducks.
