These mallard ducklings were on a lake not from from my home. The way the little ones took turns popping up looked like the duck version of Whack-A-Mole. This was the first and last time I saw them. Fortunately, I took some photos while I had the opportunity.

Thirteen ducklings! I do hope that's not an unlucky number for this sweet little mama! These photos just have "precious" written all over them. I think you should repost this for Mother's Day!
That is a passel of ducks! They are so cute, but I laughed out loud at your "whack-a-mole" comment! Spectacular photos!
Sometimes one has to standout in the crowd.
You captured some amazing action here, Brian.
cheers
LOL..They are so cute, even in this awkward stage.
they're adorable. look to be a couple of weeks old - hope they all make it. you need more models. :)

Thanks for the smile today. The ducklings are so cute. I love how they keep popping up. Great photos!
Whack-a-mole. Cute. I thought, "Show Offs." Really like the last pic catching their reflections.
Great photos of very cute ducklings.
Beautiful captures!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Amazing shots, BJ! The pop-ups are darling. Definite wall hangers, or book cover...
Wow, that is one huge family. Great sighting and your photos are awesome.
Oh my gosh this is the cutest series ever! It's really great that she still has that many by this stage..wow, either she's the best duck mom ever or its a really safe Lake ... or both! Wonderful.
Wow now that is a hell of a family. Rather her than me! Great photos.

Mama Duck has her hands full, not just in numbers, but some of them seem to have ADHD. Hope they all survive, they are so sweet. What can I say about your pictures ... you outdo yourself every week.

lol @ Whack a mole! Adorable photos!! I'm going to have to check out World Bird Wednesday!
Great photos Brian! They are just too adorable! That is one big group of ducklings for that mama to keep up with!
They are so cute. I hope they all make it but usually they don't ... sigh!
Ahhh! Those ducklings are cute! They always make a great picture!
And I thought three was a crowd! Well done Brian!
They are adorable! Great pics!
Wonderful shots of these adorable critters.
That's alotta kids! Such sweet captures, Brian. Love!
Oh how sweeeeet!
That is a funny sequence! I had the opposite happen to a brood of day-old Muscovy Ducks on our Florida lake. One disappeared before my eyes-- permanently. A Largemouth Bass took it whole. Over the next several days the brood diminished from 11 to just 4.
Another amazing post and a beautiful series. Those ducklings are too cute! I love the little feather & wing stretches!
And that lens you have... amazing!!!
I love that last image. such clarity, excellent work
These shots just make me smile!!
Good sequence!!!
