Ducklings waddle into Islander’s yard

On Aug. 9, some stray ducklings paid a visit to a Mercer Island homeowner, waddling across the street and into the yard. The mother duck had been seen with the ducklings within the last month, but not on this day. A Mercer Island police officer was on the scene to help and called numerous resources, but couldn’t find the ducklings a safe new home. Luckily the homeowner volunteered to temporarily take in the ducklings and said she would find a friend with a farm/lake property for their new abode.
