I hate to tell you that the wood duck nestlings aren't out of the woods, so to speak, once they hit the water. They face all kinds of perils out there, from snapping turtles and other large aquatic turtles to fish like largemouth bass to bullfrogs to species of aquatic snakes, as well as avian predators like wading birds, crows, and gulls who would love to have them for dinner, and often do. And they may get separated from the female by all sorts of factors including human disturbance - people out on boats who don't show appropriate respect and let the brood of wood ducks all swim by before they proceed. I object to the human interference but the rest is part of natural food webs. That's why the females lay 10 to 15 eggs. It may sound cold, but that's biology. And it's an example of evolution by natural selection: only those ducklings who are fast enough and smart enough to stick with the female to the extent possible and evade sorts of predators will live to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation of Wood Ducks.

@@Biobele actually many reasons 1. Both of them exist in different regions. Different regions mean different predators. I believe the predators of the duckling region may not be birds or some creature that can fly high. 2. They were well hidden. They were hidden in a hole but the geeslings were exposed on top of a nest. Fortunate for them, they were present on a 400ft rock where no predators can reach and not on a short tree.

@@smirkfanta5535 they can fly so they can migrate, if their fear was flying creatures I'm sure 400ft open exposed nest will not stop those flying creatures like it didn't, they could have flown to deserted islands, dug holes, made nest on steep slopes or sides of mountains, in or on trees other creatures cannot access or rocks other creatures can not walk on like most other birds do. Instead of let the chicks drop 400ft they could have carried them on their beak or broken their fall by flying towards them and tossing them in the air a couple times and also once the jump is made one of the two parent bird should already be on the ground waiting to protect the chick those geese are just dumb parents that's all

At first I was afraid that the final duckling was going to miss the water and get hurt, but I'm really glad it's okay 😌

Newly hatched wood ducks have a claw on each foot for the sole purpose of them climbing out of the nest.

That's so endearing.

“Houston we have a problem....The Eagle has landed”

Also duck: I’m ducky quack quack and I’m going to enter the fall zone.
