A Tale of 10 Ducklings

While commenting/blogging on steemit yesterday, I notice a mother duck and a bunch of her ducklings looking to find their way to the bay/river. Mother duck made a mistake and jumped in the condominium pool and so did her ducklings. After a few minutes of swimming around in the pool, she decided to continue their journey to the Bay/river. That's when the trouble started, her little ducklings were too small to jump out of the pool and became stuck. Steemer to the Rescue!!!

I went down to the pool and got a hold of the skimmer and the fun started. You would be amazed as to how fast those little ducklings are in water. It was a bit chilly outside so i didn't want to get into the pool. I spent 5 minutes chasing them around the pool with no success other than making my neighbor laugh at my silly attempts to chase ducks in the pool.

So i decided to jump in and get the job done

It took a little while but i got them all, except the one smart duckling who found the pool chair I slid in the pool to help them out.

Got the last one, and in the box it went.

Quickly got out of the pool before the ducklings found their way out of the box. I hope you all enjoy the action shot!

I quickly went to the bike path which runs along the water to release them back to their frantic mother. Mother duck was noticeably upset, she was a good sport and did not attack me as I handle her ducklings. I think she knew I was trying to help her and her ducklings.

**Family Reunion!!! ** If anyone is wondering, this is the bike path which is 20 feet from the water, not a road used by cars. Wouldn't want to put the ducklings in danger after just saving them.
