Have you ever heard a male wood duck’s call? It is a rising, high-pitched, distinctly un-duck-like whistle, given while raising the iridescent green and purple crest. Uncommon at Malheur Refuge most of the year and rare in winter, their numbers are slowly increasing, possibly aided by human-built nest boxes. Look for these beautiful ducks on the sloughs at Page Springs Campground. 🎥: Peter Pearsall #woodduck #waterfowl #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildliferefuge #friend
