The reader learns that Fielder "manages a Wood Duck Nest Box program in the Wenatchee vicinity of the Columbia River which involves over 100 nest boxes." Fielder's efforts in this program reportedly significantly increased the presence of Wood Duck populations in North Central Washington (Fielder 2)
Fielder explains that the individual wood duck hens in Washington lays approximately 6 to 12 eggs per nest; with the average totalling 10 to 11 eggs. "The eggs are pale brown to tannish white and are generally 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches in size" (Fielder 12). The ducklings hatch 28 to 32 days after the female duck lays them, unless predators eat them. Figure 4 portrays a sampling of various kinds of duck eggs; including (from left to right) eggs of the "Hooded Merganser, Wood Duck, Western Screech Owl, American Kestrel, European Starling, and Northern Flicker " (Fielder 12). Incubation periods differ with the amount of heat the eggs receive
