A duck (I swear it was a duck) flew into a tree in my back yard this morning
and rested for a few minutes before it flew away. Any clue as to what kind
of duck this might have been? The angle of the sun put it in silhouette, so I
couldn't get a good eyeball on him/her.
Thanks.

Hello Beverly,
Wood ducks, fulvous whistling ducks and black-bellied whistling ducks DO
frequent trees. That is why the whistling ducks were once known as tree
ducks.
That fulvous was around Adams,TN, for awhile last year----not TOO far from
you, but it should be GONE. I have see woods and black-bellieds in trees.
Woods are here year around; the fulvous is not SUPPOSED to be here now; the
black-bellied is not supposed to be here at all. By deduction, I suspect you
had a wood duck. Go to the Cornell web site for greater enlightenment:
