The Wood Duck is a very colourful waterfowl that makes its habitat in swamps and small bodies of water located in the forest. This rather small duck makes its nest in the cavities of older trees located close to the water. Unlike other ducks, whose calls might sound like quacks, this duck gives off a crying sound. This waterfowl is seen on Cuba.
