Debra Ferranti who is an employee at HarborOne Bank in Lincoln Rhode Island went to work on Monday morning when she witnessed some persons who heard ducklings who fell down a storm drain and they needed to be rescued. Debra with the assistance of another bank employee Shae decided to rescue the ducklings who fell down the storm drain by opening the storm drain and with the assistance of other bank employees were able to rescue 13 ducklings from the storm drain safely and ten out of them were reunited with their mother. Three of the ducklings that were rejected by their mom duck were given to the officials of the Lincoln Animal Control.

This happens here so often as we have an overpopulation of geese. Someone is always having to literally fish the babies out of a storm drain. We e have so many here, one year a mama goose made a nest next to my patio behind a flower pot!

@Deepizzaguy We have a lot of geese who do not leave for the winter, it didn't used to be that way. This is Illinois, it gets very cold here with snow and ice in the winter. But so many of the geese stayed. I will try to get a picture soon to show to you, George. We have 2 new mamas with babies, I saw them yesterday.

Sounds like mother ducks are becoming much too careless. Were they humans these moms would wind up in group about how to take better care of their children,

I wonder why the duck rejected some of the ducklings. Perhaps they weren't as strong as the others.

Most likely what happened was that the ducklings were not as strong as the other ducklings.

They are very young ducklings and surely would not have survived without being rescued, good on the bank workers.
