On my drive
home from work in
South Jordan tonight I came across this little family of
Mallards. They were trying to get through a
vinyl fence and looking a little confused. Across the road from
them was River Front Park, a new group of
fishing ponds between River Front Parkway and the
Jordan River, just north of 11400 South...

I pulled over to the shoulder and proceeded to coax the little
family away from the fence and toward the park....

To get to the park we needed to cross the street safely. I
appointed myself as the duck crossing guard and sort of shepherded
them in the right direction....

We brought all traffic to a stand still and it seemed many were
amused by the site. I am happy to say we got them safely across
the busy road and into the field where they could choose a much
safer habitat for such a family.

Happy birding and be kind to animals :) |
