Wood Ducks in Draper



2/25

There are a pair of Wood Duck's in the large pond of the Mehraban Wetlands
Park in Draper.

Mehraban Wetlands Park is best entered from 1000 E and 11820 S (Riparian
Drive). From this intersection you go west about two blocks to a small
parking lot at the bend in the road. This is a recently rehabilitated
wetlands area that has starting picking up many more migrants and permanent
residents in the last few years (after being all but destroyed by housing
development about four years ago). There are several walkways around various
ponds and boggy areas. Worth a trip in the evenings, especially if you like
the sound of hundreds of Red-Winged Blackbirds serenading you.
