One afternoon in June we were driving home from the grocery store when we noticed three ducklings without their mother, wandering down the street towards the highway. We didn't see signs of their mother anywhere and we guessed that their chances of making it across the highway were pretty slim, so after calling Dad, we decided we should take them somewhere safe. Our travel toilet was the only thing we had in the car to put them in while we transported them to the slough. Thankfully, Henry and Walter are quick on their feet because these Wood Duck babies were fast. After a few minutes of chasing them around, we got them in the back of the car and headed over to Dad's office to pick him up. As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed that one of the ducks had somehow managed to sneak out of the toilet and was now under the gas pedal! We eventually made it to their new home and slipped them in to the water, watching them paddle away. Henry and Walter were so disappointed that we couldn't keep them, "I miss the baby ducks!"
