This was in Lee County. Birds showed up to eat spilled grain. I've seen reports of them in Aiken County, but I haven't seen pictures to confirm. Coming to a wood duck box near you in the future?

Very cool. Think we could get permission?

I wish they could get better established in SC

Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
It’s going to take a lot to get them established. They’re a sky buster’s dream once you figure out the daily flight path.
They have really taken over down here on the Altamaha delta. Breeding population has exploded on Butler Island over the past few summers. Cool birds.
I've had em nesting in Hampton Co for a few years now....

Prolific breeders and will out compete a wood duck for nesting boxes, know dat. An LSU grad student is doing a study in SW La and monitoring over 100 boxes next Spring. Looking forward to his findings.
BBWD's and Fulvous are going to be our "new" duck in SC in the next 20 years as they expand their range.....that's my prediction anyway.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Has a fulvous been documented in SC in the last 25yrs?

I’ve seen them a bunch, but haven’t killed any. Can’t bring myself to pass shoot.

When in doubt, shoot him again!
Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!
My understanding is that most summers have fledged by the time most bbwd initiate nesting so there is actually very little competition for nest sites.
In my limited experience, this holds true from what I've seen with them nesting around June or later best I recall.

Too cool.
