This nest was the 5th live streamed Wood Duck nest of 2014. It was very unusual because 2 hen Wood Ducks named Rachel and Patty incubated the eggs day and night. 18 out of 23 eggs hatched the morning of 6-28-14. All 18 babies jumped at 9:05 AM EDST on 6-29-14. It was a very eventful morning with one Red Shouldered Hawk attack, a fisherman that continued to fish even after seeing the No Fishing ...

Wonder how many get eat by largemouth bass
Amazing video
Smart idea when you built that Duck House to install a convex metal shield to prevent snakes etc. from climbing up!
If you have to be a duck, there's hardly any nicer environment to be born and raised in.
There were not any Anhinga nests in the Rookery last year. This year there are about 4. Most of the immature Anhinga are mostly black but this particular one is mostly white with black wing tips and a black tail.
😠the last chick suffered too much because of whoever made this box it would have been necessary to put a mesh in front of the hole inside to help the chicks to climb.
Amazing how she knows hwo many are they as she count them🤗
Mum is she all things ♥️♥️💔
One of the best video of the type I have ever seen. Very professionally made video 👍👍👍🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 BEST WISHES FROM PAKISTAN

So cute, those ducks taking their first brave leaps into a new world. Wholesome.
Wow 😳
Apik banget...👍👍
I counted only 11. Looks like the other four did not make it to the opening
Why did the merganser adopt the ducklings? It seems like I'm the only one confused.

Absolutely fascinating!
great videos of the Egrets and Herons...
Hi Rupert, so happy to see you back on !!! Have you had many ducks this year? Any videos of any jumps, would love to see them...have a great day !!! Loonlady
Hi Loonlady, Good to see you. I was looking for an Eagle nest and stumbled upon this Rookery. Lots more Merganser nests this year but I didn't take any videos. The Prothonotary Warbler nesting was terrible I think because of the record breaking spring drought. Rup.
Good to see you 😷❤️👍🏻🐥🦆🐣
Hi Andi, I remember you. Everything here is going great. Good to see you too. I was looking for Eagle nests with my drone and stumbled upon this Rookery. Very few people have ever seen one so I posted a couple of videos. Rup.
I know this is an older video, but how in the world are there 2 different kinds of ducklings in one nest? I’m very curious. I’m building nest boxes now for my pond.
It is fairly common to have Wood Duck and Merganser eggs in the same box. Both nest in hollow tree cavities and use the boxes and both start nesting at about the same time of year, starting late January here in NC.
Awesome 👏🏻
bird momy i love u
Need a wire mesh or similar as a ladder for the ducklings to get out.
So when they just out do they stay out or go back in if so how do they get in
They stay out and feed on animal matter. It takes 10 weeks to fly. Less than half reach flight stage.
2:07 Jump scare for everyone including mom.
Very adorable 🦆😘
Very brave 20 Baby Wood Ducks!🐤😘(*๓´╰╯`๓)♡
The first baby out of the box is a Hooded Merganser. And watch my other videos on youtube at Rupert Hester.
@@ruperthester9407 Yeah! The first baby 🐤is very cute & special! 😘
@@ruperthester9407 I will watch your other videos later!👌Thanks for sharing!(⌒o⌒)
Does it matter what direction the wood duck box faces??
Hooded Mergansers like the boxes facing out toward the open water. Wood Ducks prefer the boxes in the thicker, back part of the lake.
Am I the only one wondering how the little ones get back in there?
They don't. The baby Mergansers and Wood Ducks eat animal matter around the lake shore. It takes about 8 weeks before they can fly and only about 20% survive to become adults.
@@ruperthester9407 That makes more sense, but also a bit sad so few make it. Nevertheless neat to get to witness.
So, you think she booted the woodies later on then? Did she take over a wood duck’s nest and incubate them all?
The baby Wood Ducks probably abandoned the brood the first day out of the box. I have about 50 boxes on the lake and I see several nests every year with Wood Duck and Merganser eggs incubated by Mergansers or Wood Ducks.
All is well until a 10 pound bass swims by...
How can anyone with a heart give that a thumbs down?

So sweet. Such a delicate plop into the water.
This is how you prove birds know how to count
Interesting those trees look unique.
They are Cypress trees and are not rare but are found only in certain lakes and streams south of North Carolina and Virginia.
@@ruperthester9407 Thanks for the info.
Heartbreaking this fight for freedom of the last little duckling.
What a beautiful view
Amazing how the mother knew exactly how many babies she has and swimming away the minute the last baby came out and landed on the water, that's amazing impressive how nature are.
she can count; who'd a thunk that one??
@ Chuck Yang I noticed the same thing. Animals are amazing ;)
Ducks can't count. No chirping from the nest = time to swim away.
Beautiful video. Beautiful ducks and it's babies.
Thanks Drama Queen. Here is another similar video. Same lake but different location. ruclips.net/video/-_w6rX0KMzs/видео.html
Holy shit they fast That second one looked like a propeller on a motor.
How will they get back to their nests....?
