Officer Rescues Ducklings



You Tube Link

When Florida Police Officer Glenn Eppler came upon a group of ducklings in danger he didn't just keep driving.  He stopped traffic and saved the ducklings.


"This job, you never know what you're going to see," Eppler tells WINK News.  "I saw the baby ducks and thought of my daughter. She loves ducks.  She's ten and I could hear her in my ear saying, 'get out and save those ducks.'"


The Officer's dash-cam caught the whole thing on tape.

Catching ducklings is no easy task.  Lucky for the Officer a witness joined in and helped.

Pretty sure the officer could have herded the ducks to the side of the road if the citizen wouldn't have "helped" :) Kudos to the officer for just rolling with it though and taking care of the situation.

A few years ago I came across something similar in person where a bunch of pedestrians stopped traffic to help some ducklings get to the side of the road. Took a little longer because they couldn't all get over the high curb on the side, and people were sure if/how they should help out. Somebody finally pulled out a book and gave them a boost. :)

Glad the officer could help as he has the hi-vis squad car to halt traffic (I almost got creamed rescuing a tortoise with only hazard lights to protect me...). Many would swerve recklessly to miss a ducking in the road so our hero here is doing far more than protecting some birds.
