The Great Horned Owls had three again this year and number two spent at least part of the night on the ground(number one had fallen a week earlier and not survived the second night).
A small armada of Wood Ducks, ~two days from the nesting cavity.
Leucistic Wood Duck hen warding off competitors from her bank and ducklings.
One of the goslings looking back at its reflection in the lens.
Another Wood Duck taking a break with her remaining ducklings.
She started with thirteen and was down to eleven the second morning. Perhaps too trusting as the ducklings went over and around my boots.
