We (Clint and Irene) rounded up a Mallard Duck and her nine ducklings when they were chased by a dog. The mother flew onto the highway and ended up on the other side of the road. She had a broken wing and broken leg. Her ducklings ran into a ditch which was covered with thick weeds. It took us two hours to find the 2 day old ducklings! The mother recovered from her injuries and she and her babies were eventually released to the wild when the ducklings were full grown.

You may not think clearing brush in your backyard during nesting season will do any harm, however, these four little nestlings were found, still in their nest, hours after brush had been cut and cleared. Thankfully they were immediately brought to us and we raised four Spotted Towhees!
