It is great to see those babies going for a swim. The start of another circle of life. You sure got some amazing shots there alright!

I was a little sad that some of them didn't make it, but, Mother Nature knows best, is what I am guessing. I cannot believe I missed the event because I was reading that they normally hatch a few hours after sunrise and spend about ten hours in the nest before going to the water.
What were the chances of me doing that at night? None. Right.
The duck shot was really terrible as I was walking near the pond when I spotted them and the sun was bright, I couldn't even see if I got the shot until I got home, so excuse the blurriness. I was pretty happy I got one at all.
Another chapter in life that is done. They certainly go quick! I'll have to keep an eye on them to make sure snapping turtles don't get them. Strange thing: the male Mallard is nowhere to be found. I thought they mated for life?
