MSNBC finds us a fine Friday image (suggested by dham):

Responding to a mother's quacking pleas, a tiny wood duck leaps out of its house in a white oak tree along a branch of the Zumbro River near Dodge Center, Minn., on June 1. The duck's stubby wings were not enough to slow its 15-foot free fall to its mother. But it survived the jump nevertheless, just as its 19 siblings did. Photographer John Weiss waited over four hours to capture this frame.
