  Subject: [NatureNS] how do wood ducks locate nest sites


  This year Wood Ducks nested in the Saw Whet Owl box at the camp (East =
Dalhousie, Kings Co). The box is about 150' from the lakeIshore and =
there are far too many trees for it to be visible from the water even =
before leaf out. Does anyone know how the Wood Ducks manage to locate =
nesting cavities not visible from the water like this one? Chance? Do =
they venture into the woods with a search image in mind?



  I have looked around for information on this all summer but have not =
come across much on the subject.=20
