The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremonies, as well as decorative purposes, and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes. Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing. The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl . In German the dahlia was known during most of the 19th century as Georgia, being named after the naturalist Johann Gottlieb Georgi of St. Petersburg, Russia.

Anyway, I am back with hope to finish "The Wood Duck story".

The Wood Duck. Female.

2011-08-01T12:46:00.000-07:00

"The Wood Duck is considered by many naturalists
and hunters to be the most beautiful duck in North
America, if not the world."
Hinterland Who's Who

So, Wood Duck...
Some sources describe Wood Duck as the most beautiful duck in the world. But even it is my favorite duck I can't be agree it is most beautiful duck in North America either! Here is spectacular Harlequin Duck in North America and amazing Mandarin Duck in Eastern Asia and Russia. Which one is more beautiful -? I don't know!
However wood duck's female - less colorful than male (it's has a white broad teardrop-shaped eye-ring and a whitish throat. You can't be mistaking when you sea that), but still one of the most gorgeous and more colourful than any other female ducks in North America!

The Wood Duck. Introduction.

2011-05-17T20:37:00.000-07:00

Many years ago I received a gift from my Mom and Dad. It was a pretty big box. When I opened it I found 7 books inside. The books were in the size of encyclopedias and had silver titles - " The life of animals". Each book was talking about different creatures: mammals, fishes... and of course one book was about birds! There I was introduced to the most spectacular duck for the very first time. I returned to the article and photo so many times!

I almost learned it by heart! But time has past. I grew up...medical school, army, work, immigration to Israel...The book was lost and I forgot about my favorite duck!

However, a few years back I found myself in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Here my passion to nature came back and when I read a birding guide I came across a photograph of THAT duck! Yes, it was a photograph of the spectacular WOOD DUCK!
