On April 7th (the day after the interloper incident),
Lady began staying on the nest 24/7. The Wood Duck incubation period is
around 28 to 34 days, so we should see babies in early May. Since then,
things have been pretty boring in there...just much nest-fluffing and snoozing. We
are still seeing the male coming around in the mornings and evenings, swimming
around and eating along the pond shore. And no other Wood Ducks have appeared since
the 6th, which seems like good news. Friday, April 12, 2013
All is calm
