According to Mr. Brimley, this bird is unquestionably the most beautiful member of the Duck family and occurs all over the State, but more plentifully in the ooastal plain region. To .prevent its complete anihilation, Fisheries and Wild Life placed it on the fully protecaed list with no open season. Due to this protective measure Wood Ducks are again to be found in our Eastern counties. Wood Ducks nest in hollow trees, usually in or near water, l^ie nest is deeply lined with down which the female bird plucks from her breast, and there are about * dozen eggs! If the nest is discovered the young birds scatter in one direction while the mother emulating injury, goes in the opposite direction, thus giving the young birds a chance to disappear by dieing.
