Wood Duck Chick - a photo on Flickriver

Wood Duck Chick

            This was an interesting encounter. This little wood duck chick seemed to be on its own, with no other wood ducks around. But there was a family of common gallinules nearby and one of the parents kept trying to scoot the wood duck over into their family, almost as if they were adopting it.
