A Sleepy Duckling

[@catlover7015]

Did anyone else find it absolutely adorable when the duckling tried to go down to the water and the mother pushed him right back up?

[@quote_nature]

Yes! She is so protective of her sweet little duckling who definitely needed to rest ;)

[@_.A._]

Aw the sleepy duckling is so sweet to see! 😊✨

[@quote_nature]

Yes, thank you so much for watching this little cutie. It was a very special moment to see this tiny duckling. Enjoy the day!

[@gourangapaul9623]

I feel keeping this baby forever and forever with me. Nothing can be cuter than this cutie. Its too cute really.

[@quote_nature]

I agree, this little duckling's picture is in the dictionary under "cute". Thank you for visiting!

[@gourangapaul9623]

Wow so nice to hear that. This baby is really adorable.

[@JoAlwoodBIRDSANDTHENSOME]

Typical youngster, he fought sleep every step of the way. Nice variety of angles, Cathy, and a superb closeup at the end.

[@quote_nature]

Thank you Jo! LOL, so true. It must be fear of missing out ; )

[@celinedeslongchampsoiseaux1583]

Too beautiful capture! He is too cute this mini duckling. Everything reassured to the point of falling asleep with mom! It is superb!

[@quote_nature]

Thank you so much Celine for the kind words! This little tiny one is a real cutie : ) Best wishes for good birding! Warm regards, Cathy

Awe absolutely adorable video dear Cathy ♥ that little sleepy duckling is just too adorable for words. Did mom only have the one? It really brings a tear to my eye and fills my heart with so much love when I see mom and baby birds together. This little darling looked so tuckered out! I'm really amazed also by urban wildlife. Central park seems amazing with all that you have been able to witness & capture there (that Mandarin duck, saw whet & barred owl, etc) The music was perfect for this video as well. Wishing you a most inspiring weekend my friend, big like

Thank you so much Heather for the kind words! I was not at the Pond where this duckling was before the I filmed it but most likely there was much more than one. Unfortunately, nature is not always kind and glad to at least see this one well watched over by its mom. Have a wonderful Sunday dear Heather and more baby birds to enjoy! Warm regards, Cathy

[@AnnieGOiseauxetnature]

He’s so sweet 💞and certainly very tired ! This is a lovely video, his mom watches him very closely. 🥰 Loved it !!! Warm greetings, Annie

[@quote_nature]

Thank you Annie! He is! It was a warm day too which made his sleepiness more so. Have a wonderful day! Warm regards, Cathy

[@birdsfriend6779]

Splendide vidéo, je suis émue par ce petit bébé , seul survivant sans doute, qui doit peut-être être un peu triste. Il est très touchant, merci ! ❤💛💙,,💚 Have a great day !

[@quote_nature]

Thank you Anne! Yes, I feel the same, no other ducklings in sight and hoping for the best for this little sleepy one! Best wishes, Cathy

[@birdsfriend6779]

😪 J'espère que la maman le protègera bien 😃

[@quote_nature]

❤️🦆 I hope so too

[@jakubprzyrodnik]

The cutest video ever!!! So enjoyable and perfect choice of music. Big thumb up 👍🐥

[@quote_nature]

Thank you Jakub! I agree, this duckling gets the cute award ; )

[@duckynatalie]

the mother is me when I have a mosquito bite, the baby is me when I'm in school

My heart is bursting at this comment

[@PeekAtWildlife]

What a good mama duck! This was sooo precious!!

[@quote_nature]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to say on a visit last weekend, the duckling was still with its mom and growing quickly. Have a great night. Best regards, Cathy

[@PeekAtWildlife]

​@@quote_nature That's great to know. It's really cool going back and visiting the same areas to see how much the babies grow. At a lake near me, there was a mom and dad goose with their one gosling, it was also growing fast! Amazing how dedicated parents they are.

[@Suindaer]

Thank you for this, you're doing the world a great service. That might come off as sarcasm, so I want you to know I'm being completely serious, being able to see cute ducks is extremely important.

[@quote_nature]

I agree, especially adorable ducklings that remind us of the sweet side of life. Have a good week! Best regards

[@wildlifewatch2220]

[@elevatorsbemoreby0103]

This is so cute, the mommy duck and her baby and I love the music

[@quote_nature]

They are, especially the littlest duckling in the park.

[@quote_nature]

Yes, it is a beautiful: Butterflies in Love by Sir Cubworth. I also added it to the video's description.

This reminds me of my professor and ...me!

[@quote_nature]

Haha ;) Learning does take great effort.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Such a cute duckling, well watched over by mother. Was this the only duckling in the brood?

[@quote_nature]

I visited the pond when there was just this one duckling. Not sure if there were others but most likely there were. At least this little one's chances were looking good. Enjoy your weekend! Warm regards, Cathy

[@VideoNatur]

Really good, dear Cathy! This was exact the moment we need to make interesting footage. Thanks for this cute video!!!! Have a great week, Rolf

[@quote_nature]

Thank you Rolf! So glad you enjoyed watching this sleepy little one and its mom. Warm regards, Cathy

[@CaliFaunaDreamn]

Ok, that's just too cute for words. The clip should've been preceded by a warning: "The following may be too cute. Viewer discretion is advised." :)

[@quote_nature]

LOL American Wildlife!!! Thank you for the kind words! Love its little yawn... ; )

[@WanderingSoleTV]

So good, nicely filmed! : )

Thank you for visiting!

[@wildlifewatch2220]

Today i fly with my parents to New York. Can you give me some tips where I can find blue jays? :)

[@quote_nature]

Have a great trip here! If you are going to be in Manhattan I recommend Central Park. Blue Jays have been seen this week. The best way to search for birds in any location is ebird.org. Here is a link to a search for Central Park (as a hotspot) on ebird: ebird.org/hotspot/L191106 It shows all the birds birders list on their checklist including Blue Jays. You can always use the Explore tab in ebird and search the Species Map for Blue Jay & enter the location you will be in. Hope this helps! It's been very hot here so I would suggest going out early if possible. Best of luck and enjoy your stay and the birds! - Cathy

[@wildlifewatch2220]

@@quote_natureThanks a lot for your great answer! Today we saw one! :-)

[@quote_nature]

Great news! : )

[@wildlifewatch2220]

Yesterday I was able to take a picture of a dark gray bluish bird. Can you tell me what kind of this is? I could also send you a picture. Have a nice day! :-)

[@quote_nature]

There is a gray bird called the Gray Catbird, it has a cat sounding call and lovely songs. Here is a link with info and pictures: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gray_Catbird/id This website is helpful in identifying birds but you might have to send a photo if this isn't the bird you saw.
