The “Duck Rescue” presentation is a tribute to the original “Duck Rescuers” Ted Thyrion and the late Milt Geyer who rescued from 1980 to 1998. ,[object Object]

Ted and Milt record of how many ducks they rescued for some of their years. Incubation continues today at the wildlife sanctuary for those eggs that do not hatch. ,[object Object]

The Green Bay Wildlife Sanctuary provides open water and food for ducks during the winter. ,[object Object]

When looking for a duck nest you may need to look real hard. The leaves and cedar offer a great place to hide! ,[object Object]

Sometimes we learn about the duck family after the hatch. If seen from above this family would have easily been missed. ,[object Object]

When the nest has been “clutched” for 26-28 days some eggs will start to show cracks. The cracks indicate the eggs will hatch in 24-48 hours.

When the ducklings have been hatched it is time to gather the family. The first step is to grab the hen. The hen will attempt to defend her nest by ,[object Object]

If the hen can’t be grabbed she will need to be walked into a trap. In this case the hen and family are in the shrubs. The building is a barrier and for the hen so is the walkway. The technique is to walk the hen into the trap when a rescuer “slowly” walks through the shrubs. ,[object Object]

Once the hen is in the trap another rescuer would pull the string to lower the trap door. Notice the smaller metal cage next to the trap. The ducklings may not go into the trap with mama duck. So, after mama is in the large trap rescuers pick up each of the ducklings and place them in the trap. ,[object Object]
