Today's Best Shot comes from Wendy Servas of Chapel Hill: "I snapped this photo on a recent trip to the Outer Banks. These young siblings are gathering the courage to take their first plunge into the sound by Harker's Island, N.C. Mom and Dad have already gone in and are waiting patiently in the water below. We watched as the ducklings tentatively leaped off the dock, one by one, until all nine of them were in the water and following their parents to the opposite bank. It was very cute!"
