About two dozen ducks had reached adulthood without ever having the opportunity to swim. They (along with 100 other birds) were confiscated from an animal hoarder by the Ulster County SPCA and lodged with Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Of course, the flock was apprehensive about going into the water at first, but once one of them decided it was fun, the rest soon did as well. Read the whole story at the sanctuary site.
