Mrs. Wood Duck — check out 2nd video

Mrs_wood_duck_052707   

As I promised yesterday, I have a video of Mrs. Wood Duck flying into her wood duck nesting box — to show that a full-size duck really can fit through that little opening.

  But in an odd turn of events, Mrs. Wood Duck flew out again at 3:30 p.m. and returned around 6, just as we were finishing dinner with friends and family.

   Our 5-year-old friend Annabel was about to sing an after-dinner song — a song she was rehearsing for her kindergarten graduation on June 15.

   I asked could she please wait until after  the wood duck flew into the box, but the wood duck seemed to be taking forever, and Annabel couldn’t wait any longer.

   What you see and what you hear on the following video happened simultaneously.

   This was not planned.

   It just happened.

   No overdubbing, no sleight of computer.

   I thought it might be worth sharing.

  It somehow seems even more fitting today, Memorial Day.
