Wood Ducks in Solano and Napa Counties, California
Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) have mcmased in abundance in favorable areas along creeks in Napa and Solano counties to such an extent that 1 felt justified in adding a pair of them to my collection of birds of this region. This pair ws taken December 13, 1938, from the oak area along Ledgewood Creek near Manka, Solano County, at about the boundary line with Napa County. Both birds had been feeding on acorns, the crop of the male holding eight entire and full-grown acorns from a live oak (Quercus agrifolia).
