Just another day on the dock- with a little duck rescue

This was a neat car -boat that was motoring through.



This little duckling got left behind. I watched as it paddled around, peeping for its Mom. I spotted it around 9am this morning

The poor thing was getting so tired, it's little head kept bobbing in the water. I told Tom we should rescue it, but he would not jump in and get it- then again neither would I. There were some boys fishing and I went and asked them to use their fishing net. Stupid duck paddled away from the dock. The boys volunteered to get their dingy. They returned and managed to scoop up the little thing.

They went in search of the rest of its family, and if not successful they were going to take it to the humane society. One little waterfowl rescued. We are waiting for the fireworks to begin, so I may add more pics later. Headed back to home port tomorrow.

  1. You couldn't bring the duckling back as a stow-away?? Looks like you're having wonderful weather. Hope the lake crossing goes well.
