Wild Infants - Do I Need Help?

Waterfowl

Young mallard ducks and Canada geese are commonly separated from the rest of their brood as they follow parents to food or water.  When you find a young duckling, note the location of possible ponds and streams where the rest of the brood may be, then call a wildlife rehabilitator for advice on how to reunite the young bird.  Do not endanger yourself or others by attempting to chase young or adult waterfowl when they are on the road.
