Animal control officers rescued ducklings Wednesday from a storm drain in Garden Grove, California. Authorities said a passerby reported that 14 ducklings fell into the drain.
"Once they've fallen into a situation like that, it is difficult for the ducklings to get out," said Orange County Animal Care Services Director Jennifer Phillips. Officers scooped the ducklings into a box, which was lowered through a manhole.
The mother duck waited nearby on a sidewalk and followed animal control officers to a pond. The ducklings were released into the pond and reunited with the mother and father.
