[CameoRose scan] Painted by Maynard Reece, Through the Trees: Wood Ducks
1977, oil on canvas
Wood ducks, aerial acrobats, do not land like other surface-feeding ducks. They dart through the timber at full speed and dive toward the water, breaking at the last instant and skidding to a stop.

| Wood Duck or Carolina Duck, Aix sponsa is a medium-sized perching duck. A typical adult is about 19 inches in length with an average wingspan of 29 inches. This is about three-quarters of the length of an adult Mallard. It shares its genus with the Asian Mandarin Duck. |
