It's that time of year again

Every spring the ducks lay their eggs and shortly after we get to see the cute little ducklings around the lakes. It's really fun.
This nest is close to our house. We would check on it periodically and one day this little guy was standing around waiting for his little brothers and sisters to join him.
Then, right before our eyes, "Crack!," the egg opened and out came another duckling.
The little guy watched his brother or sister crack open their shell and then he walked around the nest to the other side to greet his new sibling. That was cool.
Aren't they cute. We saw a group of 10 ducklings yesterday.
