Future father

in #birds7 years ago

 Our female Caroline duck hatch eggs. The happy father in the meantime protects her and the nest. Just like the males of the Mandarin duck, the males of the Caroline duck have bright plumage. But this is only until the autumn. In autumn they grow and become ordinary gray ducks. But by spring, the males will again "dress" in a bright feather to conquer their ladies.

Shes gorgeous :)

I also like them very much :)

That's a very beautiful duck! When do you think there will be baby ducks?

We wait for ducklings in about 20 days :)

Nice! Look forward to more photos then.

I thought, that really looks exactly like a male wood duck. I was SO confused. but it turns out Carolina duck is a colloquial name for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_duck

You are absolutely right and Wikipedia - also :)
