My photo is of the ducklings on our pond back in spring. They nest in the floating duck house which has 2 sections. Last time the mallard drake turned up with 2 ducks and they both raised a clutch.

The pileated woodpeckers that visit our bird feeder tree are very shy & won't usually come in (or stay) if we're down in the yard, so getting the opportunity to actually photograph one was really special.
