It’s not over ’til the paperwork is done!
WWA’s Green Bay Chapter spent Saturday, February 22nd at the organization’s Abrams Project property in southern Oconto County cleaning out wood duck boxes.
21 boxes were checked for hatch information from last spring; the volunteers cleaned and replaced woodchip bedding, and the group repaired or replaced five boxes. Nine of the 21 boxes had hatched eggs (42%). Several more boxes had other nesting birds including one hawk.

Thanks to GB Chapter volunteers (L to R) Jax Urben, Jesse Nickel, Jeremy VanSistine, Logan Sincoular (kneeling), Dave Voakes, Hank Voakes, Bruce Urben and Bryan Urben; they look forward to more wood ducks visiting the property this spring.
