Woodiecam1 4/21/13 One baby Merganser, 19 baby Wood Ducks.

This was the first live streaming nest from www.Woodiecam1.com/ of the 2013 nesting season.Her name was WoodieGanser and there were 29 wood duck eggs laid by 2 or 3 different hens and a Hooded Merganser laid 1 egg in the box. 19 Wood Duck eggs and 1 Hooded Merganser egg hatched. The Hooded Merganser egg hatched 10 hours earlier than the Wood Duck eggs during the night of the 26th and the wood duck eggs hatched during the day on the 27th. Total incubation time was 33 days. The exodus was on 3/28/13 at 9:45 AM EST. I used a Canon VIXIA R300 camcorder.

Hey, that reminds me of the episode from Marty Stouffer's Wild America, "Woodies and Hoodies." The wood duck's nickname is a "Woodie," and the hooded merganser's nickname is a "Hoodie."

The first one is the Hooded Merganser and then the 19 baby Wood Ducks exit. Can't tell the male from female babies.

My first reaction at 0:56: that's not a wood duck.

[@ruperthester9407]

That is the Hooded Merganser baby. He is the first one out and he was the first one to hatch too.
