Looked out the window in time to see this mama duck and her ducklings going across the parish parking lot. We have no idea where they were going, but they were clearly lost. They waddled up to the doors of the Food Pantry and then big black crows started circling with thoughts of lunch or dinner in their little crow brains! Melissa went out to try scare the crows away and mama duck got freaked – leaving the babies and trying to draw Mel away by acting like she was injured; they finally took refuge under a shrub. Mel and Bob tried to get them to come out from under so they could be captured and taken to a place where they’d be happy and safe, but the ducks would have none of it. Never a dull moment around here!!!
