David and I rescued 3 ducklings from a street drain this weekend, with a bunch of other folks "helping". (One lady called the fire dept. another lady called the police) We rigged a small soft net (David says it was a camp utensil sterilizer bag, I say it is a "delicate items in the washer" bag) held open with wire and duct taped to a broom stick. or some version there of.
It felt good to sucessfully reunite the 3 with the Mom and the other 5 babies, and no human hand ever actually touched the ducklings-- just in case the Mom was picky.
They were exhausted.
Ducks do nest away from the lake and then walk 'em there.
Have you ever read "Make Way for Ducklings"? One of the best ever childrens books. If you haven't go to the Library and get it and read it-- now.
I wish I had photos!
