First Flight... How Awesome!

In this momentous occasion, we see two
baby common goldeneye ducks leaving the
nest and taking to the air for their first
ever flight. The expressions on their face
are priceless! What an amazing event to
witness :)
The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala
clangula) is a medium-sized sea duck.
Adult males ranges from 45–52 cm (18–21
inches) and from 888 to 1400 grams (1.9
to 3.1 lbs), while females range from 40–
50 cm (16–20 inches) and from 500 to
1182 grams (1.1 to 2.6 lbs). The species is
aptly named for its golden-yellow eye.
