Wood duck nest boxes If you live on or near a lake, stream or wetland, you can improve your chances of seeing wood ducks by putting up a nest box. In Florida, nesting can happen anytime from late January to August with most nesting occurring February through June. Now is a great time to build a nest box or clean, repair and replace nesting material in an existing one. Whether you’re building or maintaining a next box, don’t forget the predator guard to improve the chances of a successful hatch!

It's raining wood ducks! 🦆 Wood ducks nest in hollow trees and when the eggs hatch, the ducklings must jump to join their mother on the journey to the pond. DNR wildlife biologists are researching what types of trees and cavities female wood ducks prefer, which wetlands they bring their broods to, and how successful hens are at nesting and rearing broods year-after-year. This information will be helpful for forest and wildlife management decision making across the forested region of Minnesota.
