Cool pics of ducklings jumping from a Woody box

We have a Wood Duck nest with 12 eggs in it only 20 meters from our trailer ! I have a spotting scope set up with a cell phone attachment and have some nice pics and videos. The eggs should hatch soon and then they will move to a pond about 50 meters away.

Chalkriver2, That’s a mallard nest. Great pictures!

Thanks for the correction Canso, I looked up on the internet for a pic and the one I found said it was a Wood Duck, but since looking at more pics I see you are correct.

It is a sad ending for the Mallard duck and her eggs by my trailer.
A raven got them a couple nights ago and a fox was by later at 2am but I think they were all gone by then.
We enjoyed watching her and got some nice pics of her tending to the eggs though.The grandkids took the bad news better than I thought they would.

Great shots, and I think I know where that is too. Awesome pics and conservation work.

Love the first one where the duckling is in full super hero pose
