It's not unusual for wild ducklings to be separated from their mom. She won't notice they're gone and will just keep going with the others. If you find ducklings without mom, watch for a bit to see if she returns. If not, simply bring them to us. No need to call first. Keep them warm, dry and in a dark quiet area until you can bring them to us. They're not waterproof and do not handle stress well.

Thank you for helping these adorable animals!

Migrating waterfowl like this Pied-billed Grebe can become stranded on wet pavement (it looks like water from above). A stranded bird should be captured and brought to us.
