Duck Rescue Plan


The other day as I was leaving work I came upon this group walking down the frontage road. Mama was desperately trying to get back to the wet lands, but had wound up here with her babies. I followed them in my car with my hazard lights, while blocking traffic so they wouldn't get mashed. Then I pulled ahead of them and parked. I ran back to them and became a professional duck herder. I helped her orient herself towards the water. She did so, as only a mama duck can, and they all paddled away safely.
