MADISON -- University of Wisconsin-Madison police are the latest to rescue stranded ducklings in southeastern Wisconsin.
The rescue happened Sunday afternoon, May 29th, according to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Facebook and Twitter pages.
Seven ducklings were stranded in the middle of Johnson and Mills -- near the Kohl Center and the Student Union when two officers stepped and helped the ducklings to a safe spot.
Just last week, Wauwatosa police rescued seven ducklings found in a storm sewer on the Menomonee River Parkway at Harmonee Avenue.
All seven of the ducklings were rescued and reunited with their mother.
And on Friday, May 13th, five ducklings were rescued by West Allis firefighters after they became trapped in a storm sewer near 67th and Lincoln. Those ducklings were placed near their mother, who was in the area. Two hours later, there were three ducklings in a storm sewer in the same location. Those ducklings were given by firefighters to a passerby to be taken to the Humane Society.
The fire department used a special duckling saving bucket, dubbed as the "Duck Saver 2000," designed by in-station personnel.
They're not ducklings, but on May 21st, drivers slowed down while on I-94 WB near 35th Street to allow a family of geese to cross safely.
