Wood Duck Nesting Box: Part 1

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- In 2021 we made some changes and upgrades to our wood duck cameras. We should be able to document the ducks in a whole new way. Stick with us as we show you the whole nesting process and some fun stuff along the way. Will we get a chance to film another jump day? Stay tuned to find out.

So fun to watch the various wildlife in your pond! The duck box cameras give us a new perspective! Can’t wait to see if you have 🥚 🥚 🥚!
It’s amazing how close nature is to our back door! 🥚 news coming soon!
Great video guys , in joy listening to the sounds the hen wood duck is making in the duck box
Oh that’s our favorite too!! She makes some pretty sounds.
I really enjoyed your wood duck videos last year. Glad you're doing it again this year! Cool that you added the camera inside the box. Can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you!!!! So glad you enjoyed last years and came back for more. We CAN NOT WAIT to see ducklings!!!
Still looks CRAZY claustrophobic to me, but funny how nature works... she knew exactly what it was and that it was there for her. Can't wait to see what transpires!
Fortunately they are not picky about their cavity nests! Matt said we should mount a big screen and a welcome mat in them ;) thanks for watching. Part 2 in the works. Lots of exciting duck news coming.
@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife The video was hilarious because as cramped as it was, she was bopping around and flufing up the woodchips and making it home. She didn't seem the least bit annoyed by its size. ROFL Soooo looking forward to Part two and glimpses of the eggs once they go out to eat
They are in and out right now. Laying one egg a day for about 14 days. Then the brooding! Can’t wait to show everyone. They are so funny when they spin around making the woodchips just right!
Love the new box cam 📷 and hearing her cute little sounds. Her fluffing of the nest looks like me trying to get comfortable when my lower back bothers me. Lol 🤪 Nice variety of critters you have!
Haha! She’s a character. She fluffs and fluffs and fluffs till it’s just right. It’s been a treat watching her these last couple days.
Good luck this year. mine is sitting on 12 eggs should hatch around the end of the month. I have not had time this year to post any videos but i'll try to post a jump video.
Oh glad to hear it!! Hope you can catch the jump on film!
We watched your duck videos last year trying to learn a lot from your hen. I’m so glad we have the inside of the box cameras now.
The music is a little creepy, maybe some nice Johnny Cash next video!
Barry White would also be a good choice
Hahah Barry White would be hilarious. Unfortunately we have to stick to the non copy-righted material from the free audio library.
Thanks for sharing your woodie experience. What type of camera are you using in the boxes?
Green backyard cameras and I don’t really recommend them. More troubleshooting than they are worth.
@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife thank you for the feed back… I will use that to start my search.
I witness two geese kill an entire wood duck clutch when the chicks came out of a wood duck box. We just keep the wood ducks around now
Oh wow!! Thankfully no geese have been around really during jump days but I’ll keep that in mind. Blue herons will do the same. They eat the ducklings whole.
Do you have a link to the nest camera? I'd like to do that with mine this year.
They are Green backyard cameras and I don’t really recommend them. More troubleshooting than they are worth.
@@HusbandWifeOutdoorLife OK thank you!!
any update on your duck box? mine hatched today and should jump tomorrow
Our expected hatch dates are the 15th-18th for the boxes. They are still brooding but we should see ducklings soon!
So excited that you got a hatch! Excited to see them.
Is that a U post?

No predator guards. Sloppy.
This was only our second season maintaining boxes. We have predator guards now. The water was exceptionally lower causing the issues we had in 2021 (making the boxes more accessible to predators). We learned and corrected.
Me too
It's an ongoing struggle against the predators. Our main culprits are coons and ratsnakes
