So common, so mundane but if there is nothing else to keep one entertained they can be quite nice.
1. What on earth is he doing with a fish?? Certainly they do not eat them!! Any of our experts know?
Don't know what happened to the fish as he scooted off soon after with another chasing him.

Wood Ducks eat seeds, fruits, insects and other arthropods. When aquatic foods are unavailable they may take to dry land to eat acorns and other nuts from forests and grain from fields. Diet studies indicate a lot of variability, but plant materials make up 80% or more of what the species eats. Examples of food eaten include acorns, soybeans, smartweed, water primrose, panic grass, duckweed, millet, waterlily, blackberries and wild cherries, as well as flies, beetles, caterpillars, isopods, and snails.

Wood Ducks, especially immature birds, are known to occasionally eat small fish.
