Rescued Ducklings Retrieved From Santa Clara Expressway

SANTA CLARA, CA — It must be spring.

Santa Clara Community Service Officer Chris Clay was dispatched to the Lawrence Expressway to safely retrieve ducklings that wandered onto the roadway, the police department reported Friday.

Clay responded and managed to catch the young family along the center divider. They have found safe haven in the Silicon Valley Animal Control, which in turn may send them to the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley in San Jose.

Perhaps the young, orphaned ducklings wanted to hitch a ride.
