I was shooting my bow behind the house the other evening, when I saw a wood duck come up from the river. Sure enough she shot right into a hole about 20' up a tree. I rigged up my GoPro camera and was able to get some cool shots of her on the nest. I wasn't even sure she was in there at first, but she definitely has a nest and at least one egg that I could see on the video. She came back to the nest shortly after I got out of there. I hope to catch her leaving and continue to get some footage while she's out of the nest. I think it would be pretty cool to get the babies on video.

Thx guys. I hope this works out. I'm not sure how often I can get away with getting some footage. I guess I'll have to spend some time watching during the day and have everything ready to go when she leaves the nest. From what I've read, they don't stay in the nest very long after they hatch, roughly 24 hours!!!
