The Odds

I was sitting down by the pond on this morning when I noticed a female wood duck stick her head out of this box and then she jump into the water below. Ive seen this so many times so I did not think to much of it. So I looked elsewhere and then less than a minute later I looked back at the box and noticed a little baby sitting on the hole (door) and it jumped so at this point I realized what was going on I did manage to get 2 shots of these guys (The last 2 of 10) I hope you like the shot its not perfect but its the best I got. The chances of me seeing this again are pretty small.

I think it is great as is! How far down was it and did they all survive?

This wood duck house is about 4 feet above the water.So have just make a little splash and they are on their way.

I love this image, warts and all, though to be honest I can't see any warts.  You have captured this lovely moment with great skill.

Wood duck nests on your pond, how cool is that.  His little wings are so cute.  Looks like he/she learns to swim before flying.   Expect to see some takeoff/landing shots of wood ducks in the future. 

Awwwww.  Babies of any species are always cute!  Good timing!

Love it. Nice capture. Guess the old pond will be freezing over before long..

Very nice Christopher Schlaf .Im not a big fan of the black background. Best regards, Linh Dinh
