and more of their large, rectangular tail can be seen. Wood ducks are slower flyers
than other ducks, but they are nimble. Their broad wings give them the ability to
thread their way quickly through tree branches.
Wood ducks are found near creeks, wetlands, and swamps, and like other birds
found here (such as kingfishers), they are cavity-nesting birds. They nest in aban-
doned woodpecker holes, natural cavities in trees, or special houses, like those
you will see here, that people erect.
Unfortunately, the first 0.1 mile of this hike tends to have some trash strewn
about. Whether it's people accidentally dropping items off their boat and it washes
up here or because of easy access to a hiking trail with a water feature like Coon
Creek, it is disheartening to see. If you can, bring along a trash bag and take some
of it out, and help keep this area as beautiful as the rest of the trail. Your efforts
will be appreciated!
