Aix sponsa
The wood duck is considered by many bird watchers to be North America's most colorful waterfowl species. Its scientific name, Aix sponsa, translates into “waterbird in bridal dress.” Today the wood duck is one of the most common waterfowl species breeding in the United States.
Wood ducks nest in woodland areas along lakes, rivers, and vegetated wetland areas.
