Published: , in Outdoor News
Michigan state lawmakers voted on March 25 to make the wood duck the first official duck of Michigan. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the legislation (HB 4044) the next day, making the designation official.
“Michigan’s recognition of the wood duck celebrates more than a beautiful bird; it honors a conservation comeback made possible by protecting wetlands, restoring habitat and standing up for the future of waterfowl,” said lead bill author, Representative Alabas Farhat (D-Dearborn).
