🚨🐤 Duckling rescue alert! Today, #TeamCarlsbad swooped into action for a heartwarming duckling rescue in an Aviara Parkway neighborhood! 🏡 A concerned resident heard a mama duck quacking loudly and discovered her baby ducks had fallen into a storm drain. 😱 Our amazing animal care partners San Diego Humane Society were called in and managed to rescue 10 of the 11 ducklings. When the last little one proved elusive, our team stepped up and lifted the storm drain lid and worked together to make the final rescue possible. 🛠️✨ All 11 ducklings and their relieved mama were safely released into the nearby open space, ready to waddle off into new adventures. 🦆 Huge thanks to our community for being vigilant and to everyone involved in this amazing rescue! 🙌
