I look out at Lake Appert and see wood ducks paired off and house-hunting, but I have not seen any wood-duck activity at my wood-duck box.
  A check of the video cam inside reveals nothing new.
  It has been a year now since the nor-easter of 2007 flooded the Celery Farm and my backyard, and I have been half-expecting to see a female perched on top of the box any day now.
   I have heard that wood ducks tend to use the same box every year.
  We shall see.
