Wood duck in the Autumn by Bill VanderMolen

Michigan Public shares that Governor Whitmer signed legislation last week naming the Wood Duck Michigan’s state duck. The legislation was sponsored by Representative Alabas Farhat (D-Dearborn) & passed both the Michigan House and Senate by wide, bipartisan margins.

The Wood Duck joins a whole bunch of Michigan’s state symbols that are detailed on Michigan in Pictures!
