Make Way for Ducklings
Marblehead, MA
Officer Lori Cameron rescued five baby ducklings, among a flock of 11 ducklings, who fell into a storm drain on Cloutman’s Lane at 10:18 a.m.
Cameron said the mother duck was frantic, hearing the babies quacking in the drain, but a contractor working in the area lifted the drain cover and she used a pool skimmer to fish the ducklings up, one at a time, to a delighted Mama Duck. The incident followed a similar incident on Orne Street about two weeks earlier.
Also:
A duckling got stuck in a manhole near 49 Norman St. at 12:28 p.m. and it was reported that the mother duck was “very angry.” The animal officer and DPW responded and made Mama Duck happy.

Seems to me that if this occurs every few weeks that they might find a new way to cover the drain? We had to make some changes here for the geese!!
