Ducklings Rescued From a Storm Drain and Returned to Their Mother

Occurred on July 10, 2023 / Manteca, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "On our way to lunch today we noticed a mama duck out in the 85° heat standing in the road quacking and looking visibly distressed at a storm drain grate. My mama heart told me that something was wrong and I had a feeling that she had lost her babies inside of the storm drain. We pulled over and my husband looked down the grate and noticed that they were babies trying to jump out, he pulled the grate off and climbed into the storm drain. There were a total of eight baby ducks inside that were alive. We were able to save all eight of them. But one of them was unfortunately already dead."
