Thanks again Paul for all the work you do to sustain the woodie population.
To Cali's point, I too have seen many wood duck bands that were banded in the northeast. I'd be willing to bet that we get more migratory woodrows that residents.
I was hunting open water one days when I saw 2 massive flocks of birds circling, just looking for a place to settle in. But the flock formation was very odd. It was obvious they weren't big ducks, they didn't act like wigeon, but were too big to be teal. They were woodies. It was evident they had just migrated in and I was astounded when they got close enough for me to hear the whistles. I'd never in my life seem wood ducks flock up like that and may never see it again. It was a very cool to just watch em cause let's face, you can't really "work" a flock of wood ducks. They just do whatever the eff they want.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
