Well today while at work, it appears that a lady discovered that ducklings had fallen down a sewer grate while following it's mother. She saw them fallin one by one. She contacted the DEEP and officer Michael Curran came to help out.
I came out to lend a hand. We finally were able to unwedge the heavy grate and encon officer Curran saved the day by going down the sewer and tracking down, 12 ducklings.
We put them in a bag he had in his vehicle. Mama duck was having a stroke during the entire time. My wife showed up with a crowbar and took a couple of picks of the animal rescue. Maybe i will post them tommorrow.
I thanked the officer and headed back to work. Only to find out later that they heard another duckling peeping down the sewer! HE WENT BACK DOWN, and has to go 25 ft down a narrow opening.
Sir you went above and beyond the call of duty. Great job today, everyone was all smiles when the mama was reunited with the chicks.
