Advent Calendar - December 26th

This little Wood Duck certainly seems out of place. He's a year round resident on the Pacific Coast and south Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. He is seen occasionally in inland parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. But in December, it is rare to see him inland. This photo was taken at Mahleur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon.
