When a group of ducklings gathered on the ledge of the Westside Highway Bridge in New York City, onlookers held their breath to witness a courageous plunge into the water below.

With the mother duck waiting patiently, each duckling slowly gathered the nerve to jump, prompting cheers from the crowd.
