Thanks to the teamwork of gardeners, the Stamford Police Department, Animal Control officers, a security guard and Lynne Colatrella who is with the Stamford Downtown Special Services District who saw a mama duck with 11 ducklings that were recently hatched eight days ago outside of an isolated downtown plaza, the teamwork resulted in the stranded ducklings and their mom were picked up and taken to the Mill River safely. The work of getting the 11 ducklings away from the plaza took three trips to get the ducklings and their mom taken to the river safely. The story is that the mom duck has laid her eggs at the same plaza to the last four years since the plaza is a safe place to leave her eggs there. Link is upi.com/4991715804006 via @upi

I bet it would have been rather amusing watching the fellows herding the ducks.

Perhaps each year she waits for someone to rescue her and the new ducklings.

Maybe, you might repeat this story again next year then, which would be her 5th hatch of ducklings, if she does it at the plaza once again.
