No fowl play here.
Long Island cops flew into action Saturday after four ducklings fell eight feet through a grate into a storm drain near Old Sunrise Highway and Sunrise Highway in Massapequa.

Their worried mother was dangerously pacing across traffic in a desperate attempt to rescue her crying babies when Nassau County police arrived, the department said.

After discovering that the sewer grate was unmoveable, the quick-thinking cops ushered the matriarch to safety before playing a series of mother duck calls they found on YouTube to coax them to safety, responding officers told the Daily News.

After cleaning the babies, police reunited the babies with their quacking mother in Carmen Creek, a small body of water behind Alfred G. Berner Middle School.

”They swam away upstream towards her voice, and that was the last we saw of them. They swam very purposefully,” responding officer Marisa Caroselli, 48, told the paper.
 

A spotted fawn without its mother has been hanging out in my yard for the last week. My dog just sits on the porch and watches him, although with an intent focus. Yesterday, the fawn showed up with it's mother, and I was relieved to see them together.
 
When I was little we had 3 baby ducks. After they became full grown my parents decided they needed a new home so they gave them to friends on a farm. I want to think they lived a happy life there, but back then I'm not sure how long they may have enjoyed their new home.
 
For those of you east of the Mississippi interested in having a great duck try Crescent Duck from Long Island NY. These birds are far superior to other brands and this business happens to be the last duck producer on LI which was well known for duck production.
