Mallard Duck and Ducklings cross busy road to water with human help

• Mallard Duck and Duckl... (see this video for first attempt to leave nest). At 8:45 am Thursday, mom mallard attempts to get 12 ducklings across busy state HWY 16 to Lac LaBelle in Wisconsin. Ducklings stuck at curb finally follow human guidance to sloped walkway to be reunited with mom and then are greeted by dad mallard swooping in just as they are about to enter the water.

Yes from the kind lady but not the stupid duck mom. She was about to go swimming. I think there were 3 ducklings who scaled the sidewalk. The left-behind ducklings later caught up with the duck mom and 2 ducklings. If I am right, 1 duckling was left behind.

Guiding the little and cute ducks to cross from lower part of the sidewalk and to reach mother duck is awesome.

[@jimgilbert9984]

This reminds me of a book I read as a young child, "Make Way for Ducklings." It was the first book I was able to read on my own, which made me very happy and proud of myself. As an adult, I became an elementary school teacher, and when I found this book in my school's library's discard box at the end of one year, I snatched it up as a treasured piece of nostalgia. 🙂 This video also reminds me of a PBS special called "A Duckumentary," especially the scene with the wood duck babies. Wood ducks make their nests in the hollows of trees near the pond/lake that is their home. When the ducklings are ready to leave the nest, their mother will go to the pond/lake and call to them. The ducklings will jump out of the tree and fall to the ground, their baby wings extended. The ducklings are so light, they almost float down. They're not harmed by the fall because they land in the old leaves at the base of the tree. They then follow the sound of their mother's quacking until the whole family is reunited and can go about their duck business. 🦆 Thank you for posting this delightful, wonderful video! ❤
