Excerpt from Housing for Wood Ducks The'ben is slightly smaller and more somber in color. She has a gray-brown head and body and a white throat and eye ring. What She lacks in color she makes up in sound, for She is much more vocal than the male. Unlike other waterfowl, the wood duck limits its range principally to deciduous forest areas of the eastern half of North America. It is at home in suitable wooded habitats from Florida to New Brunswick, and from southeastern Texas to northwestern Minnesota. A small breeding group inhabits the west coast from central California into southern British Columbia. The wood duck is the only waterfowl breeding in numbers in Illinois. Here it breeds from the cypress swamps at the southern tip of the state to the tamarack bogs at the northern border, and from the Mississippi River on the west to the Wabash River on the east. In the region of the Illinois River valley near Havana, it reaches its greatest abundance in the state. Few areas in the nation have had as dense breeding populations as this area. The wood duck has undoubtedly suffered more adversities than have most other ducks. By the early l9oo's, the combined effect of habitat destruction and overshooting had so seriously depleted its numbers that conservationists feared the Species would be exterminated. The passage Of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 gave the woodie complete protection from legal shooting. This protection was continued until 1941, when in 15 states a new legal provision permitted one wood duck in the daily bag or in possession of each hunter during the waterfowl hunting season. This legal provision was later extended to most other states. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Audubon Birdhouse Book is the most authoritative book available for creating safe, sturdy, and easy-to-build homes for many of North America’s favorite birds. This updated second edition includes important new and timely topics including impacts of climate change on birds, nestbox monitoring for community science, native plants, and how birders can help birds. Produced in association with the National Audubon Society, Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to build and place functional DIY bird homes that are safe and appropriate for more than 20 classic North American species, from wrens to raptors. Each of the easy-to-build boxes and shelves within is accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step-by-step photography, making the projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. In addition, this practical and beautifully presented guide is packed with color photography and information about the bird species covered: Wrens, Warblers, Bluebirds, Flycatchers, Swallows, Titmice, Owls, Flickers, Kestrels, Chickadees, Ducks, Mergansers, Swallows, Doves, Swallows, Robins, Finches, Phoebes, Loons, Swifts, Herons, and Ospreys. Detailed information will help you properly place and maintain the homes to attract birds. And because these projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, you can be sure you’re getting the best advice regarding proper design, safe construction materials, and correct home placement to mitigate exposure to elements, pests, and predators. Finally, beyond the birdhouses, you’ll find out how you can contribute to the larger birding community and even enhance your birding experience.

This is a story of conservation told through the natural histories of two of the world's most fascinating birds, the Wood Duck of North America and the Mandarin of Asia. The only two species in their genus (Aix), these Northern Wood Ducks are native to different continents but have long been kept together in captivity. Now, for the first time in history, they are also flying side by side in the wild in a small area of northern California. This rare circumstance has given Lawton L. Shurtleff and Christopher Savage the opportunity to observe the Northern Wood Ducks' close relationship and is the starting point of this informative and beautifully rendered book. The opening chapters tell how the Wood Duck and the Mandarin came to inhabit the Pacific Flyway and explain their extraordinary similarities. Subsequent chapters discuss the distinctive histories of the two species and describe the birds throughout the seasons in their native flyways. The Mandarins' place in Asian art and literature is the subject of Chapter Five. The final chapter illuminates the successful work done to protect the North American Wood Duck, which has made a remarkable recovery from near extinction, and the beginning efforts to protect the Mandarin, whose existence in East Asia is seriously threatened. Stunning full-color photographs by renowned wildlife photographers, along with photographs by the authors, capture the exquisite beauty of these much revered birds. Detailed maps show the Wood Ducks' territory in North America and the Mandarins' territory in East Asia and Great Britain. Three appendices--plans for building nestboxes, instructions for banding birds, and lists of books and conservation organizations--and a thorough index are valuable resources in a book that will delight bird-lovers and general readers alike.
