["Roy Turrentine" <roymel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Roy & I live on a ridge that is so dry, even after a 4" rainfall, we can find 
it dry enough to dig, plant....and we're far away from a body of water that 
would ever appeal to such a bird as the wood duck. However, as I was eating 
breakfast this a.m., a bird flew up and I thought, "good golly, that looked 
like a duck..."
 [Recalling my suspicion of other's sanity when my wonderful friends, the 
Brinkhursts, had reported their wood duck sighting in their woods...hmmm...]
 I dismissed it with a "funky mourning dove..." Then it began to move its head 
in a way that I knew...the binoculars confirmed my sighting of wood ducks...a 
pair. She investigated a cavity for a bit and he stood on a nearby tree limb, 
calling. This indeed was a first we've seen here in our wooded yard!
