High in the Tree

Southern Vancouver Island

Interesting: In proportion to their wing length, wood ducks have the broadest wings of any
duck. They also have the largest eyes of any of the duck species. These evolutionary adaptations
likely evolved to assist the wood duck to fly through the trees and branches characteristic of the
habitats they frequent. ~ All About Birds
