I hunt the swamp lands of south east Virginia where wood ducks and mallards are most abundant. Quite a few ducks come in but many glide right over and land a few miles away. What is something cheap and simple I could plant to help bring in more ducks

If there is not enough food, you subdue have to buy them foods the next time you shop for pet duck supplies. These foods must be rich in protein instead of carbohydrates.

Can anyone help me identify a species of large bird that sits in a tree in my back yard.?

Her body was black and she was white bottom her wings. She was climbing in our tree during the morning. We live in CT in a wooded area and we have never seen this bird before. Can anyone idenify this bird please. We have pictures as well. Thank you.

North Carolina Creatures… help identifying a sound.?
I’m from California… have only been in NC for 6 mo. I’m going out of my mind trying to identify what kind of creature is making this odd noise. It seems to be rising over the last few weeks but hadn’t heard that up until that point. We’re by the water. The intercoastal shipping canal is about 150-200 ft away. So our household is raised some, not full pilings just raised about 5 steps. The sound I am really only hearing from one location. It sounds like it’s coming from under the front porch but I don’t have a excellent view.
It sounds like a thwart between a duck and a small dog, with the slightest croaking rhythm.
I see very small frogs out there all the time and it doesn’t seem to be them. I was watching them out the window and I didn’t see them moving their throats or opening their mouths… have no thought how a frog looks when it croaks but it didn’t look like it was them.
I’m not use to the creatures at all. Kinda curious what’s making that noise!?
I chose to research it on the web. I really found a fantastic website that provided so much information about frogs and toads of NC. They even have photos and adudio of each frog’s call. I’m subdue trying to figure out which one it sounds like, there’s a couple that seem like it force be it. But I am positively confident that it is some type of frog. I had no thought that frogs made such a variety of noises. Welcome to NC!

I need help identifying a frog…?
I have a river in my back yard, there’s beavers that live back there, a haron, ducks, and tons of fish. Earlier, I found a tiny frog out back that’s about half an inch long. I want to keep it as a pet, but, I don’t know what kind of frog it is, or how to care for it. I have him currently in a container with a lot of grass, I sprinkled fish food in there for him and have a bowl of water that he clearly enjoys swimming in. I figure I should get an aquarium for him, half land, half water, but I really don’t know what to feed the small guy. Help?

Need help identifying a bird ( game bird??)?
My son bought me this “bantam chicken” just after Mothers Day. This ‘thing’ is now a childish adult, but ‘it’ isn’t no chicken. It has blue eyes, spotted feathers. It has a small waddle growing out of each side of its face and what I call a ‘horn’ on its head, a bump that is hard. It makes this very loud and very annoying squawk. I thought maybe it was a pheasant, but the tail feathers aren’t right. I would just like to know what this “thing” is and if will it stay around the yard with the ducks and other chickens or is it going to glide away?

Help us identify a mystery duck?
At work, we saw a duck that we want to identify because normally we just have geese- if it helps, we’re in Chattanooga, TN.
It has a black body with some green feathers, and a red crest on its head kind of like a turkey, and we tried Googling it and the closest we came was to a “Muscovy” duck which is very similar, but not the same kind we have.
Any thoughts what it could be?

Who can help identify this duck?
It appears to be a male duck (judging by the size). He’s usually alone, so I have no other ducks to compare him to. He has markings that remind me of a mallard, but different. His head is dark auburn (not green) and he does have the lighter band on his throat. His body is a very set alight tan color. He’s larger than a mallard also. I’ve never seen one like him. I live in South Florida and he’s in the pond by my household.
