Just fresh out of the egg, these two ducklings are racing each other in the pond, or rather, the man-made artificial lake.

I took this picture a couple years ago early in the Spring while walking around the lake when I spotted four little ducklings racing each other and yet I did not see any adult ducks who normally would guard the little guys from predators.
